I have laced old Brooks saddles to prevent the skirts from flaring out. Two holes per side is plenty for that, not too close to the sides. I've also had luck soaking the whole thing in room-temperature water for a few hours, then reshaping the saddle, with straps and stuffing it with newspaper as it dries. That can work surprisingly well.
