If you do a search, you'll probably get answers to most of your questions. If loss of sexual function is a primary concern, you should probably forget about NBE.
As for dosing, it depends on the strength of what you bought. For example, there is saw palmetto extract which typically comes in srengths of 160 mg and 320 mg per capsule and there is whole herb saw palmetto berries. You might need to take up to four times whatever the maximum dose is on the label. Jusr keep in mind that saw palmetto is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor which means it is supposed to prevent the conversion of T into DHT. DHT is what causes male pattern baldness, excess body hair, and benign enlargement of the prostate. There is a lot of debate as to its use in NBE for biological males.
Fenugreek usually comes in 610 mg capsules. It is not uncommon to build up to six or more capsules a day (two caps three times per day). I wouldn't expect much growth from either one even in combination.
Red clover might give a little bit of growth, but it seems either pueraria mirifica or bovine ovary are necessary for real growth. Most people take at least 2000 mg of one or the other, and it takes a few months to start seeing results, usually.
Going off the herbs might restore lost function, but it might not. Stopping and starting might make it harder to get results. Then again, some MtF transsexuals report a surge in breast size when they resume hormone therapy following the break they have to take for SRS.
Typically, most people start with one capsule of an herb daily, then increase the dose by another capsule every week or two until they reach the dose they desire of that herb. After that, it could be months before anything noticeable happens, if anything happens at all.
