The car can't "demand" a set regen level come what may, but has to accept what is available. Don't forget that regen is powered by the electric motors (acting as generators) resisting the torque in the driveshaft produced by the wheels turning, and so the torque of the turning wheels actually powers the regen. If a wheel starts slipping for whatever reason, by definition it means that the torque produced by that wheel has been reduced. So to a great extent, the regen is self-limiting in slippery conditions, and will simply drop without any intervention by the electronics when a wheel slips.What the electronics do when it detects wheel slip is a bit of a black box from then on...
