2 additional things.
1. You can't have switch that are member of the same stack have uplinks between them, No LAG linked the member switches as you looping the same switch then.
Remember stacking results in global management of the single unit with member porviding port density. Stacking handles all communication between members for everything through the HDMI links on that model of switch.
You can have multiple port LAG trunk between 2 separate stacked setups.
2. There is limit on number of port per group. I think it is 6 ports per group on Smart switches and 8 port for managed switches. Beyond those density, you should start looking at 10G link since they do make 10G stacking smart switches GS728TXS and GS752TXS.
