Act together is an activity. The 1-3 actions for one and 1 action for the other is part of that activity. You can't start another action until that activity completes so you can't use that one action to be part of a second 2 action ability. It is basically 1-1-1 2-1-1 or 3-1.
Yeah, but if you don't spend that extra action when you conclude the activity, there's nothing that says you lose your actions.
It's kind of like saying a monk who uses Flurry of Blows only has 1 action left. That's wrong. They'd have two. If a monk chooses not to make their second strike, terminating the activity early, then they'd still have two actions left.
(Playing devil's advocate.)

But, there is something saying exactly that. The Act Together activity has an action cost, and that's what says you lose your actions. You can't activate Flurry of Blows, punch once, spend two actions to move because you killed them in one blow, and then use your second punch. If that second punch doesn't get used, it's gone, and you don't get refunded the one action you spent on Flurry of Blows.
