That does not really make any sense. How do you get something that
is extremely radioactive, and have a very long half life?

By having something extremely dense?

that just reduces the space it occupies...

So the same sized piece will have more nuclei to decay.

or the same mass will take as long as it ever took...

By definition you can't have something that decays fast (i.e. "highly
radioactive") and has a huge half life - they are mutually exclusive.
