When I say "small/small", or "big/big", it means that I get some chain/derailleur rub from the first to third small rear sprocket snd the first to third big rear sprocket. Can anything be done about that?

Thanks,

yes; don't do it. you're in control. get a chain and hold each end. move it up & down and feel how smooth it articulates. now extend sideways pressure as you move it and feel how the links start to bind. time to go wash your hands and head out for a ride all the much wiser.
