The rudder travel limiter function was covered earlier, but it was last mentioned scores of posts back over a week ago. Let me share my recollection on the travel limiter.
The A330 will keep limits set at last known good airspeed should there be a loss of air data. If this condition were to be sustained, the system becomes 'unlocked' only upon slat/flap (?) extension IIRC.
Rudder/VS part deux...
Even if the rudder was fully 'unlocked', I see no reason for the PF to touch the rudder pedals at cruise. They don't even make for a good foot rest.
