There are plenty of examples of articulated train sets current and past that have had even number of coaches from Quad arts to FLIRTs (though yes I know the GA ones are not 100% articulated). I fail to see what logical reason there could be as to why an articulated train could not have an even...

There is no reason that I can think of see stock such as the DLR or Tyne and Wear metro stock

I obviously don’t have the specific figures but I would suspect that as with any articulated train the end cars will be longer than the middle cars which may account for the discrepancy.

Possibly, there could be some variation in that, though were that to occure it'll simply be a byproduct of an extra or missing car, and in the same way will affect the number of spaces for sitting/standing passengers. Think how an S8 does not specifically have extra wheelchair spaces over an S7.

They will all have more and shorter cars than current trains do with all versions having the same sized cars, after all it is a “standardised” fleet. The only real difference (from a passenger point of view) is expected to be the number of cars per train set.

I assume you mean NR style TOPs numbers as all LU trains carry painted numbers which identify them as an individual coach/half set

I would suspect that this is the Prefix code and train number rearranged with the destination code in the second digit position surrounded by the parts of the train number which on the Bakerloo are in the 2xx series
