Concave spacing should be a little bigger than the diameter of a bare cob. Speed around 4-600 rpms. Both are widely variable based on moisture of the grain. More of a try it and see thing. Corn still on the cob, speed it up, or close the concave. Broken cobs, slow it down and open it up. Fan, chaffer, and sieve settings all work in unison. Again, trial and error. Grain out the back, open or slow the fan.
As others said below, very little stalk material goes through a combine in corn. Stalk should be wadded up in the row under the snapping rolls.

Thanks for the reply. Our winters are often open and dry, I might cut some off under the cob and try it for the hell of it. Gonna try a sickle mower to try and cut some fence lines for grazing—-swather seems less than ideal… |
