I was wrong.

The standard book layout might be fine. They fit the LaTeX output size 
and are formatted as centered which makes them distinguishable. It might 
be still be worth to format them in LyX with slightly larger font size. 
But I guess that is optional.

The article sizes are definitely wrong. For example, the part* and 
section* cannot be visually distinguished at all, see the attached 
document. Since the article classes are based on the book classes, I 
guess this was just a mistake when tweaking them.

The KOMA book classes actually use a slightly greater size for parts 
which I would recommend adopting.

I could make a patch if that's desired.
