My gas meter has a 3/4" line from it about 22' in length, then it goes to a 1" line about 30' feet with a 1/2" tee for a 1/2" line off of the 1" line and it (the 1/2") for 33'. will this work

Gas line are sized to deliver the proper volume of gas at a specific pressure tampering with the original installation is not advisable before I made any changes I would consult with your gas supplier.Basically I think gas piping should be done by a professional to begin with,you stand a chance of nullifying your insurance.

I would advise you to get all the usage figures and line sizes for what you plan on using from this line. If it is undersized, it could cause the fixtures used to be deprived of sufficient fuel and cause serious problems. Problems include fire and ruining the units used on the line.

depends what devices your connecting to... the meter is high pressure, but your looking for volume... it depends on the btu's of what your connecting to... for instance, my pool heater 400,000 BTU's, is about 40 feet from the meter... the pipe they ran to it is 1 1/2 " , from there it reduced to 3/4" for the bbq and firepit... about 30' each in different directions...
