I wonder of TTD had "station spread" and if it had, how many tiles were default settings for this feature. And could you place multiple bus stops in a row as well?

The answer is no for the original game, but TTDPatch introduced adjacent stations for station spread. Unfortunately multiple bus/truck stops/stations were never introduced until OpenTTD.
Station spread could be set to 255 which is the whole TTD map.
You might be interested in the TTDPatch manual available here.

Thank you dude, appreciate your answer and link - very useful, learning tons of information about this awesome old game from my childhood.

However, TTD (and TTO) do allow you to "walk" stations, just not up slopes.
Build train station, build bus stop, build truck stop, destroy bus stop, build bus stop, destroy truck stop, build truck stop, etc.
