I looked again at the midi implementation for the Global Parameters and there is no Global Vibrato Speed message and you're right I don't see a Global Editor in JSynthLib. These messages are detailed in the help section of James Clark's MatrixEd editor. I have a copy of this editor if you want to try it but again no global editor.

I had to open Midiquest to find a Global Editor and snoop the messages. When the Vibrato Speed is changed the entire Global message is sent. Below is the location for the nibblized data however the message needs a checksum for the last byte before the F7. More fun as I'm not sure if the Matrix will reject the data if the checksum is wrong! "nn nn" will be "00 00" for Vibrato Speed 0 and "0F 03" for 63. "0A 01" is 26 and "08 01" is 24 etc...

Anyway... F0 10 06 03 00 00 nn nn... (checksum) F7

The best way to try this is dump you Global data to Midi-Ox, modify the proper bytes, and dump the message back to your Matrix. Save your original dumps in case the invalid checksum trashes anything. Also if you are making subtle tweaks to the Vibrato Speed you can subtract the value from the original checksum and try that.

I didn't realize this could be so much head banging to figure out but it can be done. Sorry for any confusion... Again you may contact me for more discussion on this. I also may be able to take your Global dump message and massage it to your liking.

I'm thinking that the relationship between the LFO speeds and Vibrato was the answer you needed but since you mentioned the midi noob thing I explained the messages anyway. JSynthLib can be a real pain to setup and use so I admire you for getting through all that.
