Default harvesting rhubarb

Hi, I've just harvested some rhubarb, the patch was planted in the
1920's so the plants are established. The guides I have seen on the
Internet say to leave at least four stems. The plants all have around 8
stems left. I only took the thicker stems, about an inch thick, the
others are about half an inch thick and about 14-16 inches long.
I have two questions:

1. How long will it take the thin ones to thicken?

2. Will there be more new stems?
