This was the situation: Acting minion declined to generate additional
strikes. Blocking minion stated that they were going to generate
additional strikes. Acting minion wanted to respond to blocking
minion's declaration with additional strikes of their own. Is this
allowable?
Thanks

sure, why not?

Because the rules say so: per rulebook section 6.4.3 under "Additional
Strikes": "The acting minion decides whether or not to gain additional
strikes before the opposing minion"
Just as the acting minion doesn't get to wait to see what the blocking
minion's strike is before committing to his own, he must also decide
if he is using additional strikes before the blocker does.
-John Flournoy
There's nothing to prevent the acting minion from waiting to see if the
blocking minion plays prerange cards to play his own, though, right? Or
playing more prerange after the blocking minion has played some?
Kushiel
If the blocking minion plays a prerange card, the acting minion may then
play one or more in response, but if the acting minion passes, and the
blocking minion passes, the acting minion does not get another chance.
Ditto with manuevers and presses.
