If the slots are long enough, take a link out of the chain to move the cog forward enough so that you don't run out of slot when you use the smaller cog. The closer in size the cogs are, the less of an issue this is, but most horizontal track dropouts are long enough to accommodate a 2-tooth size difference without a problem.
