Andrew,

I'm afraid I don't know much about the Stake side of things since I am a 
Ward Clerk.  I assume that the Church has given Stake Presidents (and 
Bishops) on the system based on membership numbers, but I don't know that 
for sure.  Here is the help system for Stake Presidents (you can change 
the obvious to find the help system for Bishops.)

You should be able to find the answers to your questions here better than 
I could answer them.
