the first. the second definitely is not right. If the sentence was in the future tense it would be "If I had more time I would study" but because you are talking about the past, you have to say "If I HAD had more time I WOULD HAVE studied. "Had" and "would have" work together to make it past tense.

Your initial phrasing is correct. The idea is: each study (after each previous study) has shown . . . ." As a whole, the collection of studies is plural. This phrasing, however, considers each study in the series individually. The emphasis is on a shared singular outcome resulting from each singular study in the series.

The former:" If I had had more time, I would have studied." Actually, it would be quite grammatically correct just to say, "Had I had more time, I would have studied."

If I had had more time is correct. Had is used here because you are talking about the unreal past, that is, something that did not actually take place.

the first is better b/c the second doesn't even make sense...however there are better ways to word the sentence then either...
had I had more time, I would have studied.
I would have studied had I been able to find the time.
had there been more time...

The first one is correct. Have is used in present and future tense. Had is past tense. You are talking about something that is already over so it's past tense.

No such verb phrase as "had have" - there is "have had", and I'll assume you mean that, as opposed to "had had". The second "had" is part of the phrase "had more time", and that phrase is past-possessive: I HAD TIME (I possessed the time). The added "have" or "had" indicates whether it is past-perfect or merely perfect. Use the verb gone instead of the second "had": Perfect tense is "I have gone"; Past-perfect is "I had gone". Your sentence is past-perfect, so it is "If I had had more time..."
