yoken i think the interesting part of suspension is how sometimes weird things work.Your idea of pushing the shims open and feeling the strength is probably as good as most methods if not better. 
question 1 , i am not sure if the 24mm will bend over the 0.2mm gap but from flexing the shim stacks on my base valve i think they will.Mine seem to be able to deflect a alarming amount with not too much effort-so much that i use a 12.15mm shim under the 11.2 thats fitted to the BV, this spaces the 11.2 to give the stack more room to flex.

the 2 stage MV is a good idea that works well-i have used it on Crs and the 03 KX comes with a 2 stage MV stack as std.

I think the 14mm clamp shim on the WP MV is a bad idea and one reason why the fork works so badly.The 03 KX MV has a 25mm top shim and a 10mm clamp shim.

2 stage rebounds are not unusual and are also used in shocks.Not sure of the theory.

One more thing-most people talk of the Wp base valve having massive ports-ive not seen one for a while but with only 3 of them im not convinced the port area is that large.So we can use soft shim stacks and not get the predicted blowing through the stoke.
