Several kobopatch config questions

Hello! I'm new to patching and would like to try. I've read the readme and the yaml config docs but I have several questions regarding some of the configurations. I would appreciate any replies I can get.
  1. Do the "custom font sizes" and "unify font size" patches work together or are they mutually exclusive?
  2. What is the difference between the "custom sleep/power-off timeouts" and "larger sleep/power-off timeouts" patches? I've checked the "larger" config generator webpage but am not satisfied with the time options it provides (I don't mind that they're not even numbers, but do the limitation in range). The "custom" one looks to provide much more straightforward time options but I'm unsure if I can directly edit the values in the yaml. Specifically, I'd like to set sleep to 10m and power off to 48h or 72h. (Am not using a sleep cover)
  3. Where can I find "KePub stylesheet additions - optimizeLegibility"? Notes say this was released in v74, but I don't see it in the yamls that comes with kobopatch_4.30.18838 (which is the patch version I'm working against).

Additionally, I'm experiencing an odd issue where the right margin is visually smaller than the left margin. After increasing/decreasing the margins on-device, it looks like the right and left sides scale at a slightly different rate?

I've enabled "Custom kepub default margins" and have the following in my kobo_extra.css (which I set KoboTouchExtended to use when generating kepubs):
Code:
@page {margin: 8pt 0 0 0}
div, p {widows:1; orphans:1;}
My margins are usually set to the 1st or 2nd smallest settings, but I notice that the amount of visible margin on the device is not the same on each side when reading and it bothers me. Does anyone have any idea what's going on?

(Maybe my screen is not evenly set in the device? )

Thank you!
