Anyone want to share what they think the best configuration of cities with universities and bishoprics is for maximizing tech rate without wasting too much on the "too far ahead" penalty?

If your capital is coastal (like London), then it's worth building a second city regardless.
Not sure whether multiple universities in the same province will stack their bonus or not.
If you're gonna choose between a bishopric and a city, obviously go with the city, it makes you a lot more money anyways. Personally, I never build bishoprics, I either go with castles for quality troops, or with cities for cash; I also make sure my demesne holdings are always coastal. The whole university thing is just a plus. I also assume that these bonuses stack, it would be silly if they didn't.
