What to do after a hive combine?

About 2 weeks ago I discovered that one of my strong hives lost their queen. I did not know what to do, so I did a newspaper combine. I use all mediums and now my hive is 6 mediums high. Top 2 are honey stores, bottom 2 brood.

I'm in Northern Californina, temp. 38-70 constant daily. The hive is bringing in allot of pollen and seems to be doing good.

Should I try to reduce the hive to maybe 3 mediums or let the hive be till spring. Any major issues with doing nothing for the next few weeks?

Thank you
