Correct, think of it as having 75 separate stompboxes, but you can only 
use up to four at a time.  Aside from that limitation, you can order them 
any way you want.  I've even experimented with some downright odd options.

Correct, you can only run them in series.

 you cannot split them up like that, no, but you can set up a scene where 
you have, say four effects to create your loop, then once you have it the 
way you want it, set up a separate four effects and switch from pre to 
post and effect the loop.

   a "scene" is basically a layout of 12 effects.  for instance, pick 12 
effects.  lay them out how you want to use them, say, a wah then a 
distortion, followed by a modulation effect then a delay for the top row 
of buttons.  The middle row, repeat with different effects as you would 
need, say compression, filter, etc.  then the bottom row the same way.  
that would comprise a scene.  Imagine having 4 stompboxes, each with three 
presets, that would best describe it.

that, I don't know.
