do a full length. again, a lot depends on what rod you are actually making. if it's a lite surf, you can use single foot guide. you'll notice more stiffening of a rod w/ double-footed guides than w/ single foots. as for underlays stiffening a rod, yeah, a little, but i'd be surprised if you noticed a difference if you put 2 rods next to each other - one underlaid and one not.
