Weak cells? Well, you have two options. You'll either put them where the car can detect their diminished capacity, or where it can't. The car monitors the voltage at 12 points in the pack - mostly every other stick. So if you want the car to notice the diminished capacity and avoid pushing the weak cells to their limits, put all the weak cells together. Alternatively, you could interleave your weakest sticks with your strongest ones, which I figure would give greater usable capacity at the expense of cell life.
AFAIK, a few years of sitting won't kill a cell. You can't just drop a junkyard pack in a car and go, but if you recondition it first, it should be at least as good as it was when the car was parked.
