Im not sure how its done but I have read on here that some can get an X16 card to fit into a X1 slot. I also have an X1 extender cable to help. I searched for a guide but cant find one.
Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

1x cables are perfectly fine, you just have to cut off the plastic at the back end. A 16x > 1x cable is nothing else than 1x cable with a 16 connector rather than 1x one of the female side, no extra lanes or anything is actually connected. Like someone else said tho, you will probably need to short the detection pins as well.
