Yes.
For my HDSP9652, I have 26 inputs and 26 outputs in qjackctl, no matter
how many ADAT-(and S/P-DIF-)devices are actually connected.

Yes.

jackd doesn't care about how or if you attached your A/D-converters. It
just shows your soundcard.
But if you use some input with and some input without Wordclock-sync,
you will surely experience lots of dropouts. Not xruns, cause your
soundcard's working fine with jack, the dropouts will come from the
A/D-converters that don't sync with your soundcard.
I tried to keep my Presonus converters in sync via ADAT, exclusively,
and I got dropouts. The manufactures answer was, that I have to use
Wordclock.
Again, I had no problem with that f*** cheap Behringer-device, syncing
it with ADAT. Could be fortune. I don't know. :)
Greets!
