Is the OO headed by a Pope, Ecumenical Patriarch, or something of that sort?

and Supreme Head of the Universal Syriac Orthodox Church
 His Beatitude Catholicos Aram I Keshishian Catholicos of Cilicia, Armenian Orthodox Church
 His Holiness Karekin II, Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians

If the EO and OO come back into communion with each other, then will there need to be any reshuffling of patriachs or are there the same amount of patriachs as at the time of the schism so they everyone would just retake their original place? The reason I'm wondering is becuase I'm sure there are some EO in OO areas and visa-versa so wouldn't each church need to have added patriarchs for those areas?
Thanks!

The Alexandrian Pope has the place of highest honor among the Eritrean and Ethiopean Patriarchs because the foundation of the Eritrean and Ethiopean orthodox churches return to the Church of Alexandria so they belong to St. Mark see , but the Alexandrian pope is equal to the other Oriental Orthodox Patriarches .

i think this is one of the problems which face the unity between OO & EO , in my opinion if the OO & EO come back to communion the number of Patriarchs will remian as it is , due to the diffrence cultural and liturgical for every church
