Oh, I thought you were doing it with fancy regexps.

Yes, it's fine with plurals.

The last two are both OK, although some maintain that "which"
should only be used to introduce a parenthetical clause: "the 
things,
which John brought, were ..."  although "that" wouldn't be seriously
wrong here either.  But "who" is a no-no unless the subject is a
real person or maybe an animal that is considered to be almost
a person, like a pet.
