Evening out measures
I just did a 14 measure piece, I deleted the extra measures, I now have 11 measure staff, and one 3 measure staff. Is there a way to even this out say 7 by7? Or do I need to restart with the right number of measures? I tried cut and paste, things got a bit strange, so I hit undo.

Use Stretch - +} to increase the space the selected bars in the top line take up - eventually one will drop down to the next line. Reselect the top line and repeat till you have things as you want them.
Or use the Line Break tool in the Breaks & Spacer Palette to force the line to break at the point where you want it to move bars to the next line.

Using the stretch tool let me even out the measures just like I wanted. Just highlight the measures you want to stretch, and press "shift + {" to shorten the measures and "shift + }" to lengthen the measures.

Does this work at moving measures across pages?

It may, yes. But you can force this by using a page break
