(1) They'll tell you about patterns, which is how you can string a bunch of rhythm loops together into a single track. Record as many rhythm patterns as you need (on the pattern tracks, not the phrase tracks), then use pattern call messages on a phrase track (e.g., track 10) to build up your rhythm track over the course of your song. You can make your rhythm patterns as long or short as you like, e.g., a fill at the end of a song section or in the turnaround can be four or two measures, and you'd put a pattern call message for that particular pattern only in your turnarounds, etc.

(2) Yes. Check your manual's explantion of the copy function, then go to the copy function while you are in rhythm mode. The screens are almost self-explanatory. If you have problems, come back here and we'll have another look at it.
