Optimizer and squisher does seem to stack and reduce the total mapsize together.
I tested this to check if this was effective on a larger map with several models, and together they made the map smaller.
I squished 5 models which is about 600kb
Normal map
1266kb - Untouched
1156kb - Squished Models - 110 kb save
Optimized map
708kb - optimized map
602kb - optimized map and squished models
This was better result than I expected. Models is different. I don't know why I got low compression with your model. Maybe using only 1 squished model doesn't make such a big difference as 5 squished models.
But I haven't checked if both compression ruin the models yet... But using both does make the map even smaller actually.
