Since it seems to be just a history of the script changes can I delete 
all these except for the first file?

Yes, you may delete everything in that directory (even the first file, 
if you feel like it).

Also, does spam assassin ONLY look in the /etc/mail/spamassassin 
folder and no deeper or does it recurse into all subdirectories in 
there as well?

Correct, SA only reads /etc/mail/spamassassin/*.cf and does not recurse.
