Questions answered in these manuals
What is the function of the nRp inputs?
The nRp inputs are direct reset inputs that are active LOW and can terminate the output pulse.
From: Philips 74HC/HCT221 Dual Monostable Multivibrator Datasheet
How is the output pulse width defined?
The output pulse width is defined by the relationship tw = 0.7CextRext.
