A tiny creature with a reach weapon would threaten adjacent squares.
Permanency can be dispelled, so there is a risk to this approach.

ya not to much of a fan of permanency as its not really that permanent If you GM allows for custom magic items, an item of continuous Reduce Person would cost 4000 GP if made into a slotted item, 6000GP if stacked with an existing slotted item and 8000 GP if slotless. If you have a crafter in the party, these costs would be halved. There is a lot of contention as to the value of some of the items created with the item creation formulas, so it's up to GM to decide how to price it. I don't know of an existing continuous reduce person item, but there may be others who can help you find one.

RAI, a Tiny creature does; this has been discussed by some staffer on the boards---basically, their natural reach is actually 2.5', which rounds down to 0 normally, but a reach weapon doubles it to 5'. Diminutive and Fine have even less natural reach, so even doubled they don't get to 5'.

Diminutive and Fine have even less natural reach, so even doubled they don't get to 5'. I believe that if a Diminutive creature had a reach weapon, AND the Lunge feat, AND was under the effects of a Longarm spell, AND had a forth reach-enhancing element, like the Bloodrager's 4th level Aberrant Bloodline power, it would achieve an effective 5' reach.
Diminutive creatures have a space of 1 ft, so if their reach equals their space, they would indeed need 4 reach increases to get to 5 ft (Fine creatures would need 9, since their space is 1 ft).
I think you'd be better off resizing the grid if combats regularly involve Tiny or smaller creatures on multiple sides. A grid sized for Fine creatures would have squares 1/2 ft a side (so a Medium creature would take up 5x5 squares and have a reach of 5 squares).
All you need to threaten is Longarm. It doesn't say to extend a reach category - it says add 5'. So you can be 1" tall and still hit people 5' away.
