Bb and A clarinets use the same mouthpieces and reeds. Many orchestra players, when they switch clarinets, pull the mouthpiece/reed off one instrument and put it on the other; other players find a barrel that works on both clarinets and transfer the whole reed/mouthpiece/barrel assembly (has the advantage of not potentially twisting the ligature off during the operation). In what way is your 1010 mouthpiece "larger" --- do you mean the table where the reed sits is longer and/or wider, or is the tenon diameter larger? There really shouldn't be any differences to speak of. If we have a few more details about your problem I'm sure there's more than enough expertise on this BB to inundate you with good suggestions!
