2) A single Pi can handle up to 32 USB devices (thus, 32 Gridseeds), correct? Will the software support this number? (I switched over to cgminer for more accurate reporting)

I can't tell you about the ZH image, but assuming the limitation is the pi itself I saw it max out at 18. The pi could barely do anything else so checking the hashrate locally was a pain. Luckily the pi is cheap and takes nearly no power, plan accordingly.

I could be wrong, but i thought max is 32 usb device for pi run stale if you dont use cpuminer. running 32 instance of cpu miner in a RPI wont be a stable IMO

I can get to 10 instances before it dies.   I have 3 Pi's and a lightening asic controller in a drawer.

Of course I have 17 ZoomHash grids in a box waiting for my USB cables from monoprice (3 DOA)

Try using Cgminer, much better, image here: http://highoncoins.com/litecoin-rig/how-to-make-stackable-tower-gridseed-rig-with-raspberry-pi-pre-built-cgminer/

I will not use prebuilt xxx.  but thanks.
