I've heard the saying before, "large mouthpiece on a small horn, and small mouthpiece on a big horn". This works within reason. No tries to use a trumpet mouthpiec on tuba or a tuba mouthpiece on trumpet, but one could on a very large sounding tuba use a moderate sized mpc and work for easy of playing, or on a small tuba use one a bit on the large sized to make it easy to play near the dynamic limits of the horn.
