Can do, 100%.
The setup: obtain enough wordclock cables (you'll only need two) of equal length, each equivalent to the longest cable run you anticipate needing (since you don't want WC cables of mismatched length), and a WC terminator. Daisy chain the MECs from first to last and put the terminator on the last one, then feed the first from your WC source via the remaining cable, switch PARIS into "UseHouseSync=1"and you're good to go.
Never had the slightest problem here, the most time-consuming part was crawling behind the gear to plug the cables in.

I have my Default Project.PPJ set to 44.1 - never noticed any sort of problem. Maybe Mike's drivers fixed it? Daisy-chaining the MECs seems to be the way to go. The iMac will sync digitally via SP/DIF - all you'll need is a way to provide the iMac positional sync from PARIS as well, such as via MTC (not bad at all if you use one dedicated MIDI cable just for sync and put your MIDI performances on another cable - and - as Mike discovered - if you use 25FPS).

Beats me, the conventional wisdom has always been 2 MECs maximum before you need external clock.
