I have a MIM strat and I notice volume of the top E string is about half that of the B next to it. I also notice the pole peice under the E string is flush with the plastic holder and the others are higher. The curve described by the pole pieces appears to be too severe. Are the heights individually adjustable?

Well here is the problem I see

On the back of your single coil there is 2 ceramic magnets glued to the plastic bobbin.
It also looks like some glue is on the metal rods too.
So you might actually knock your magnets of the back if you go pushing down or up on those rods.
Tex Mex pickups are a better design and have magnet rods that will in fact adjust.
They are cheap good pickups I might add.
I would have to advise against this adjustment here.
There may be someone with more Mexican experience here say different.
My experience is to mainly remove those pickups and throw them in the junk pile.
Most people that bring me a Mexican strat are wanting to upgrade to better pickups.

Here is another picture that shows how that pickup is glued together.
