Well I've got a few gaming computers, here are the specs:
Obviously RAM and CPU and SSD's that are in them are overboard but each computer has the following:

MSI Z270A Pro Motherboards
2 Radeon RX 470 4GB GDDR5
650 Watts Corsair RMi Series RM650i

Wondering what software/OS should I install and how should I configure these?

Should I combine a few GPU's into 1 Rig instead of only running 2 GPUs per RIg?

yeah it's better to have everything in one rig to avoid wasting space, as for the os it's better to go with win 10, even if it give you trouble about update, which can always be disabled, it's more secure than win 7, and has better features

Running 2gpus per rig is more stable and easier if it's your first start with mining , if you have a good electricity price then stay as you are and run those rigs 2/rig ,you don't need any special configure just download claymore miner for eth and choose a pool and write down the batch file if you don't know what i am talking about then you have to read.
