No, the conduit has to be supported individually from a supportive structure. The spacing of the strapping is related to the size of the conduit.
250 MCM aluminum minimum
50 mm or 2 inch will handle the 3/0 wires for a 200 amp service.
For Service Entrance Cable 600 kcmill (Thousands of circular mils).
For new 200 amp services the conduit size should be 3 inch PVC.
4 inch rigid conduit
4 inch rigid conduit
Three number three wires can be installed in an inch and one quarter conduit.

They can be either separated or combined. What governs the choice is the size of the service and the conductors feeding the service and the ability to physically connect metering equipment to larger size conduits. When paralleling conduits make sure all the phase wires are in their individual conduits to cancel the field effect of the wires. Eg. conduit 1 - L1 + L2 + N , conduit 2 - L1 + L2 + N. Likewise with three phase, conduit 1 - L1, L2, L3, conduit 2 L1, L2, L3.

The sizing of conduit systems that wire has to be pulled into is dependant on the physical size of the conductor being drawn into the conduit. The second governing factor is the conductor count of the specific conductor that is needed. A 500 MCM copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 430 amps. This is where the conductor count is need by the service, as to whether the service is single or three phase. In this specific case, the electrical code will allow both single and three phase installations to use the same size conduit. A maximum total of four 500 MCM conductors can be drawn into a 78 mm diameter conduit.
Actual hole size for 1 inch conduit is 1.362"
50 mm or 2 inch will handle the 3/0 wires for a 200 amp service.
The size of conduit is based on the size of the wires in it. The size of the wires depends on the load connected in the house. Without these other two values an answer can not be given.
It depends on the size of the service to be installed. For a 200 amps service, a free standing mast is 2 inch rigid steel galvanized pipe and schedule 40 in strength.
