The 'best' length for a parachute string depends on what the parachute is for and the rest of the design. If a parachute's strings are too short, the whole parachute could collapse. If the parachute's strings are too long, there may be some wobbling and bungeeing about, more twisting of the strings, etc. Parachutes for heavy things (like spacecraft) tend to have longer strings than parachutes for people, since they're less affected by this instability.

A parachute needs four strings. However, redundancy is best, both for safety and control of the chute. Thus, 16 striings is better, 32 even moreso. Washers around groups of strings cuts down on the likelihood of entanglement. The length of the strings matters, as well (and so does the diameter of the parachute).
When parachute strings are longer, there is more surface area of the strings exposed to the air. This increases the overall air resistance experienced by the parachute system as a whole, making it slower to fall.

The strings need to be long enough so that it can be stretched tight enough to produce the proper sound.
depends on how strong the strings are, for the most part when it comes into the factor of a life the device would come 3x the strength normally needed for safety and legal reasons.

i need information on celery strings
there are four strings on a cello
Yes, the size of a parachute does affect how long it will float in the air. A larger parachute with more surface area will create more drag, slowing the descent and allowing it to float in the air longer compared to a smaller parachute.
They can! The design of the parachute puts the falling mass a long way below the shroud (on the strings) this makes the parachute very stable - it is hard to get that mass to go up to a position above the shroud. However a strong wind shear or a acrobatic maneuver can cause this to happen and if it does the canopy may collapse and tangle.
