Hello,

I wonder if anyone knows what bleed nipple size , thread type , thread length etc.

I seem to remember using the smallest ring spanner in my kit, which is 8mm. As to thread size, I've no idea except they're invariably very slack fitting.
If it's of any help, the Part Numbers are:

Bleed screw SMG100060
Rubber Cap SEX100020

Don't know the direct answer to your question but if you are removing/replacing nipples apply a smear of copper grease to the threads. They commonly sieze in the caliper.
