The amount of emitters only affects how quickly the shield can be brought up/recharged, not how strong it is.
If I have a bowl that needs to be filled up with water and can run a hose directly to it and fill it up. However, if i put 5 hoses into the bowl, the bowl will fill up more quickly, however the amount of water that can fit in the bowl remains the same.
And the daedalus has a front and rear shield, like Asgard ships.

2 Cor. 10:3-5
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; )
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

It might not matter what the status of the ZPM is, if the device from Merlin's cave is still working. This ended up on one of the Ori vessels, and was used to build the anti-Ori 'weapon', which we're told works in a similar way to a ZPM.
So, maybe it can be used to make ZPMs, if you know how to use the machine, and can do it without 1. brain-damage and 2. a descended ancient in your head.
Of course, an unlimited supply of ZPMs would probably wipe out lots of story line opportunities. Maybe they could make a couple before breaking it tho.

I love people trying to sound smart, but sorry this is a television show.
First, REAL SCIENCE doesn't exist Science is theory based on theory based on theory.
Second, if REAL SCIENCE existed it could not apply to Science Fiction, as Science Fiction isn't Real Science, and once something in science fiction becomes real science, it is no longer science fiction. The Shield technology of today is way behind the shield technology in tv.
Thirdly, Shield Generators have not been mentioned to increase the the power, nor the speed and recharge. The general idea however is that Shield Generators do both. Atlantis' Shield Generators are much more powerful than the ship Generators. Now we have no idea if theres only one Generator or 2 on ships, or if theres 200. Ships could have a bunch of crappy generators or a few decent ones.
Fourth, Merlins weapon can not make ZPMs, I'm not saying this is certain, I'm just saying that it's a horrible IDEA. Also, We have no way of knowing if the weapon still exists, and if it has been depleted or not.
Fifth Its a tv show. IF its not stated in the show as cannon, it can go either way.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGgHAXalVyM
"And those who are prideful and refuse to bow down shall be laid low and made onto dust." Then Shall Fall Scifi!
If you don't worship Metonic... your parents won't love you anymore.. well they dont now...
