Thank you CL. I will follow your advice, maybe will use 100 k instead of 200, but I will do it.

Although I didn't mention it, this is the value of resistor per capacitor. While it's true about 400uF at a few hundred volts probably won't kill you, it is on par with the voltage and energy of a medium sized on-camera camera flash. It's quite unpleasant to touch. The main concern is you jump/jerk/fall into something more dangerous.
Yes, that's how I understood it. One resistor per capacitor, very close to terminals.
In my case, it is more of a feel good, neatness issue, but worth doing "just in case".
I tried shorting one of those caps with a screwdriver. The sound was like a crack of a .22.
