Right. 1/3 is then displayed as 3,33333333333 E–1.

That's the way it works, yes.

There are two simple rules for ALL n:
1. If the number fits the display completely and a switch to scientific notation is not required, show it in FIX mode.
2. If the number does not fit the display AND it is less than 10^–n, the display switches to SCI (or ENG if ENGOVR is set).

If I get you right, you want the SCI/ENG switch for ANY number that is below a certain threshold, e.g. below 0,01. So that for instance 0,00012345 is displayed as 1,2345 E–4 (or 123,45 E–6) although it would fit the display in FIX mode. I do not know how this could be accomplished.
