Is there a rule for inches and pounds? (for ex:32" at 45lb. equals how many pounds at 28".  
No, other than a longer power stroke stores/imparts more energy.  How much difference depends on the bow.

I may not have explained that correctly, but if you ever get your hands on Shooting the Stickbow by Anthony Camera, he explains it there pretty well.
Pointer, that "information" is off the wall, as is the "author".

Got my new Black Widow made 51@29 to match my existing bow. But had them mark the weight of the new one at 31". It's marked 57lb@31".  So it's 3lbs per inch. (Didn't have the heart to tell em I'm gonna draw it another inch.)
