At any given point in time, you can have only one conductor track. You can merge the sequences conductor tracks into the song's conductor track, so you can have the different tempos represented in the song, but only if they play one after the other.
Now if you need different tempos to occur at the same time
(sounds like you do, the spoken word main tempo, and the varying music tempos for each piece), you first set the song to play back the spoken word sequence correctly.
Then take the music sequences, make sure they play to your liking when played by themselves, and then lock all the tracks inside the music sequences.
(Locking tracks makes them resolve events to their absolute time position instead of their relative time.)
Now there's two possibilities:
a) Either simply drop the music sequences in the Song where you want them, and they won't care what the tempo is since the locked tracks will simply play back the events according to absolute time. Now I never tried using locked tracks inside a song, so I'm not sure if locking tracks works inside a song. Can't think of why it wouldn't, but in case it does not, try the following:
b) Make sure the music sequences play to your liking, lock all the tracks inside each one, and then change the conductor track's tempo in each to whatever the spoken word sequence tempo and meter is, let's say 120bpm, 4/4 all the way. You'll see your events jump around, but they'll play back sounding exactly the same as before, just in different relative positions, so the bars and beats will make no sense anymore. Now unlock the tracks
(maybe unnecessary, since we're only doing this in case Songs ignore the locks, which may or may not be the case) and put each music sequence in the song where you want it. The Song should be using the spoken word conductor track data at 120bpm, and of course each music sequence at this point should be set to the same 120 bpm as well.
Makes sense? If the simpler a) solution doesn't work, this second one certainly will.
