If one DLE is bigger than the total capactiy of one tape (100G) - is Amanda able to switch to a new tape during backing up this DLE??

If one DLE causes the tape to exceed it's capacity, then amanda will
restart the DLE on the next tape.  Your biggest DLE is 76GB, so it
will fit on one tape.

If one of the above questions answered with "NO" - whats best? Creating FOUR configurations - one for each server - or what??

You already have it split into 19 DLEs, with the bigggest 76G.
Personally, I would split the larger volumes into multiple gnutar DLEs
(if possible).  (limitting each DLE to 10% of tape size after
compression would be good size to aim for if you know your jobs are
going to take multiple tapes).
