Correct, that's what I do. I edit it by hand. It happens to be also the grub menu of one of the installs, so YaST can touch it, too. No problem.
It is probably the least confusing :-)
Yes, only one can be in the MBR, the rest have to be on the respective main partition of each install. And you have to keep track of them, in paper perhaps :-)

that grub is the master one, and this one has entries to boot the
