Yes, he should have reflected a3 instead. That was a legal chance clause, so his orders became Gyro Ball-Reflect (couldn't use due to flinch)-Reflect (changed from gyro ball by chance sub).
Also, I broke his substitute on a1, and he did not put one later.
Besides, your math was off. Even if the chance sub was somehow illegal, therefore preventing its activation and making Honedge use Gyro Ball a3, Larvitar would be at 33 HP, not 32.
