 Not all systems can be different sized. Note that the SM of subsystems does not indicate the SM of the system, instead it indicates the size of the craft where that system is “normal sized” and thus 1/20 of the ship mass. Not all systems can be different sized.

 +It also makes sense that you could mount any suitable RM 6 ship module as habitat module as each such space is 5 tons too.
  
 Each such subsystems has the characteristics of the system of one less SM, except what is noted below. Not all subsystems can be installed in smaller than normal size. Each such subsystems has the characteristics of the system of one less SM, except what is noted below.

 +You can install a one step smaller system if your ship is simple: Maximum of six modules total of: drives,power plants,factories, cloaking devices,ecm,force screens,contragrav lifters, weapon systems, mining refinery. 
 + 
 +If your ship is very simple(maximally 2 such modules) you can use -2 SM control. 
 + 
 +Note that at sm -1 you get -1 to control rolls and at sm -2 you get -2.  These penalties also count if you use a smaller ship as tug or upper stage to control a larger load.
