Why do you need more than two? There is no limit to the amount of resources that can be in a shipment. The limit is only that you can only configure two, meaning two specific commodity types or two commodity categories

No, stations are not cities, so they are not part of the automatic intra-system trade. Stations will automatically fetch fuel from cities in the system at some interval, and they also collect a few random commodities. But cities cannot take from the station.
To get resources out of a station, just order the station to sell the commodities to the cities in the system. The station is always considered to be in trade range of all cities in the system, so it does not have to orbit ovrr a city to sell its cargo.
If there are no cities in the system, you setup a broker shipment from the station to a destination city. But remember you need to refuel the station somehow if it can't harvest its own fuel.
