This is the first I’ve heard that inflation carried atoms. If inflation took 10^-32 seconds but separated atoms by trillions of miles, then wouldn’t the speed of light have been exceeded by all those atoms?

The speed of light is the speed limit for objects having mass moving thru space. It does not limit how fast space itself can expand. So objects in an inflating region of space have no choice but to go along for the ride. If they don't, if they try to drag their feet, they will then be moving faster than the speed of light with respect to the inflating space they're embedded in, and that's not allowed.

The cosmologists’ weasel answer to that is they think matter wasn’t matter yet. It hints at a time in our universe when none of the operating physics observations are valid any more.
