I don't know about interchange on the different A340-types at LH an IB, but they probably do. At LX for example we fly either A340 and A330 (A332 and A333) or A330 and A320-family.

When we operated the types, one crew roster flew the A340-300, A340-500 and A330-300 at the same time. However, there were Transport Canada restrictions on maintaining competency ... namely if you had not flown one of the three in over 180 days, you had to go back to the training centre for simulator.
Also, when going from the A330/A340 to the A319/320/321 or vv. you did not require a full course, just a so called "short course" as the family similarities were there.

Within Switzerland it is:
For Crews on A330/340: total 3 landings in 90 days, at least one on each type
For Crews on A320/330: 3 landings on each type within 90 days.
If you loose your recency, it can be regained in Simulator or on an actual flight with a flight instructor.

MX pilots (some, not all yet) fly the A318/319/320 and the A330; actually a very good friend of mine just got his promotion letter to fly the A330; he´s an A320 captain.
