Welcome to the forum.
As far as slowing the growth of body hair, I would suggest trying an anti-androgen such as spearmint. In regards to getting feminine fat redistribution without breast development, I think the two go hand in hand. Perhaps one loophole you can try to exploit is that the fat redistribution will set in first before breast development. Hence, it might just be a matter of timing for you.

In theory, do you think that there's a way to use herbs to see a change in fat distribution, take a break, and then use herbs again to further fat distribution and so on? Just repeatedly doing this to try and impact distribution without really seeing major breast growth?

Honestly, I think it would be a bit of an uphill battle considering how fat redistribution is reversible while breast development is not. As soon as one achieves some fat redistribution and stops taking herbs to forego the chance of breast development, there's the possibility the fat redistribution will be reversed if you wait too long to restart the herbs. However, if you restart the herbs too soon, you may trigger breast development.
Unless you're willing to accept the chance of some breast development, I don't think it's a wise idea to pursue. If you're willing to accept some breast development, while not just take herbs on a more permanent basis? It's not like you're guaranteed to get large breasts by taking NBE herbs, nor is the process particularly fast.

I think maybe start a slower regimen like
1tea/day and alternate dosage and product.
Like this :
Monday : 1tea spearmint + 500mg PM
Tuesday: 1tea spearmint + 500mg reishi
Wednesday : 1teaspearmint + 500mg SP ? Fenugreek ?
Thursday : 1tea spearmint + 500mg PM
Friday : 1tea spearmint + 500mg reishi
Saturday : 1teaspearmint + 500mg SP ? Fenugreek ?
Sunday : clean
What do you think ?

I'm hardly an expert, but I'd say you are not taking enough spearmint.
Instead of tea try a full spectrum spearmint (like this here http://www.swansonvitamins.com/swanson-premium-full-spectrum-spearmint-leaf-400-mg-60-caps ). I take 4 to 6 of these a day plus green tea, spearmint tea, and the occasional licorice tea.
You can also grow our own spearmint (it grows like weeds where I live) and use the fresh leaves for endless options.

Anti-androgenic activity of fatty acids.
In this study, we show that 5alpha-reductase derived from rat fresh liver was inhibited by certain aliphatic free fatty acids. The influences of chain length, unsaturation, oxidation, and esterification on the potency to inhibit 5alpha-reductase activity were studied. Among the fatty acids we tested, inhibitory saturated fatty acids had C12-C16 chains, and the presence of a C==C bond enhanced the inhibitory activity. Esterification and hydroxy compounds were totally inactive. Finally, we tested the prostate cancer cell proliferation effect of free fatty acids. In keeping with the results of the 5alpha-reductase assay, saturated fatty acids with a C12 chain (lauric acid) and unsaturated fatty acids (oleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid) showed a proliferation inhibitory effect on lymph-node carcinoma of the prostate (LNCaP) cells. At the same time, the testosterone-induced prostate-specific antigen (PSA) mRNA expression was down-regulated. These results suggested that fatty acids with 5alpha-reductase inhibitory activity block the conversion of testosterone to 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and then inhibit the proliferation of prostate cancer cells.
