Huh? How would you "mix and match" rear sprockets and chainrings? You can't mount a rear sprocket as a chainring unless you somehow rivet it into place. A compact crank (i.e., 110 BCD) is physically limited to a 33-tooth ring; you just can't mount anything smaller (well, there's probably somebody out there who makes some custom doo-hickey that gets around this limitation, but I doubt it's cheap).
That's why I was suggesting getting a cheap MTB crankset off E-Bay. The OP already needs a new crankset anyway as he currently has a standard double. If you're going to get a new crankset for extremely low gears, then you might as well get a triple. If this race is what I think it is, you're not going to be shifting the front -- ever.
