To answer your first question, you ought to use a single variable to
represent the entire soprano part, a single variable for the whole alto
part, etc.  You can store music expressions of any length in a variable,
not just one measure chunks.  A \relative for each of four variables won't
be cumbersome at all!

Hope this helps,
David
