That depends on what the bridge wants. Normally master or cable select.

Master or Slave?

Nope, the jumpering is for the drive on a particular ribbon cable,
and there is one of those in each of the external boxes.

Master or Slave?

Master, since that is IDE jumperring for single disks. May
not matter in some cases.

What, if there are more than 1 external USB hard disc. Should they
be different in jumpering?

No. The IDE is transparent to the USB interface, i.e. the
computer cannot tell that there is an IDE disk on the other
side. USB has its own way of dealing with more than one
conneced device.
