Would this Work ?

I feel, that as Dennis has described, a +nn- cell configuration constitutes a + -+ -+ - configuration to the current flowing through the electrolyte.

To decrease voltage across the cell, run multiples in series.
To decrease current across the cell run multiples in parallel.

Hope that helps, Bolt.

So in a +nn- setup the left n would be + on both sides and the right n would be - on both. Doesn't this have the same effect as hooking a + and a - plate to another + and - plate in series. Lowering voltage and running cooler. How do I keep the amperage down then?

The effect isn't exactly + on one side and - on the other, it is if the intermediate plate is more or less negative than the one next to it.
say we have a unit +4v N 0v- If you measure the potential on the N plate it will read 2v in relation to the - plate and -2v in relation to the + plate. The side facing the 0 plate will act as an anode to the -0 plate and the side facing the + will act as a cathode to the +4v plate.
The same applies right across any number of neutral plates.

it has exactly the same effect as hooking + and - cells in series with a conductor . but in a series connection both sides of every plate will be either an anode or a cathode.

The Neutral plate arrangement should have slightly less resistance as the electron that is donated from the cathode side of the reaction has only to travel across the plate to the anode side to be used in the anode half of the reaction.

I agree with this part.

If we exclude the reaction curve of a cell, adding neutral plates should decrease resistance in the system and current should increase. However, it does NOT work in this manner. The difference is this cell reaction curve.
