What would I think would be the punishment for עדים זוממים who testify that X is a בן גרושה או בן חלצה?

They should get what they attempted to give to X. Therefore, if they were כהנים they should lose their status and be treated as a בן גרושה או בן חלוצה

Why does our משנה speak about the עדים זוממים receiving 40 lashes (לוקה ארבעים) when in truth the maximum they can receive is 39?

The ריטב"א explains that the תורה uses the term ארביעם יכנו which is interpreted in the תורה שבעל פה to mean 39 lashes. Therefor whenever the punishment is referred to in תורה שבעל פה it uses the term 40 because that is how it appears in the תורה.

If an Eid Zomem gets someone killed and is then found to be conspiring, he does not get the punishment he gave. According to the Kesef Mishna or Bartenura, why not?

1. His sin was too great to receive atonement by Bet Din, rather, he should get a terrible punishment from God.

2. God is in control, and therefore if the person was put to death through the Bet Din, they must have deserved it. 

3. Bartenura- If they would kill the EZ, if would start a cycle of violence
