Schematic editor bus naming and connections questions.

I have 2 questions about instantiating multiple instances, the multiplier parameter and bus naming conventions in the Schematic editor. If I want to connect 4 MOSFETs( in parallel), in series, with another set of parallel MOSFETs like in figure A, do I do it using figure B or figure C. (I think it is figure B). If I do instantiate four MOSFETs like in figure 3, for both the top and bottom set, and if I make the connecting net a bus of width 4 bits then I think I get figure D.

1)So if I have this right figure A and B are the same, D and C are the same. Is this wrong? 

2) if i want to declare an array of say 128 identical series resistors, how do I go about it? 

Do I have to make the nets on either side a bus of 128 bits and instantiate resistors with R<127:0>? How do I go about declaring an array of identical parallel resistors? I am guessing for a parallel array I don't make the nets on either side of the R<127:0> into 128 bit buses.
