How many AVDs do I need to properly test all layouts? I tried using the stock Google nexus devices but many of the different layouts were tested on the same device. What devices should I use so each layout has an appropriate device? Also, what is the best way to allow flexibility for sp adjustments?

I use:
- an avd for the minimum screen I support ~3.5" (320x240 ldpi or 340x480 mdpi)
- avds for the most common configuration ~4.5" (480x800 hdpi and 720x1280 xhdpi)
- an avd for the maximum configuration ~6" (1920x1080)
- include medium and large tablets in the case I also support tablets.

You need exactly four AVD to support all kinds of devices.
You have to set the different screen size for multiple devices esp. hdpi,mdpi,xhdpi and ldpi.
Refer here.You have to create a separate folder for all devices.

Read AndroidDevelopers Training and Guide . You must have at least one AVD for each density type (hdpi,xhdpi etc.). and each with different resolution and physical size.
About the sp- you should define them in dimens.xml file in each values folder(According device width-height).
