Originally Nastia Liukin had a 7.7 difficulty score. When He Kexin, Yang Yilin, and Beth Tweddle found out, He and Yang upgraded to a 7.7, but Beth went for a 7.8 So the highest difficulty score you can get on uneven bars is a 7.8

There aren't really any general rules, except stay on the bar until your dismount. For levels 1 - 6 (in USA) there is a set routine that you must follow if you don't want deductions. For levels 7+ you can create your own routine but you must follow certain guidelines and include certain skills.
For uneven bars you need a lot of upper body strength (abdominal and arm/shoulder muscles). You still need some lower body and back strength but just not as much.
