I would recommend pushing through to level 2/3 missions as fast as you can. The standings gains from level 1 missions aren't very good, and all the worse if you try and split them.
You might also want to concider sending your miner out to do some level 2 hauling missions. You can ramp up standings quickly through courier missions as they do not take long using WTZ.

WTZ = Warp To Zero. If you fly manually you can warp directly to the stargate, avoiding that 15km slow boat to the gate.
If you are multitasking than autopilot can come in handy.

I thought the difference between the agent levels was the loyalty points and value of the rewards. Is the standing rise also better for higher level missions? That is, does a level 2 agent gain standing faster than a level 1 when doing comparable missions for each?
Agent Level makes a big difference in standings gains. Agent Quality make no difference.

so if i skipped ALL of my level 1 missions with my second guy, could you estimate how many missions it would take to make up that lost standing by running level 2s?
I am not sure that I understand the question. You do not lose any standings by skipping level 1's. You can train the Connections skill to get enough standing to access level 2 missions directly.
Trying to remember what the standings increases are like, I would estimate that level 1's are around 0.01% - 0.03% per mission, while level 2's are around 0.05% -0.10% per mission. Level 3's are even better. Level 4 combat missions can get up to >4% per mission. Again, I am just going on memory, as I can't log into the game from work.
The real trick to ramping up your standings quickly, is to arange it so that you get storyline missions from the corp that you want the standings with. Even level 2 important missions can provide up to 9% increase in corp standing.

I meant that by not dragging the guy around the level 1 missions, he has 0 standing when he joins for level 2 missions. if my other guy is at, for instance, 2.5 standing, then my second guy who sat out "lost" 2.5, and has to make it up through the level 2 missions. I'm just wondering how long it would take to regain that which I skipped.
I would say skip to level 2's as soon as you can. In theory it should be none, because you just need Connections IV to access level 2 missions.
Now if you are running level 1's because you don't have the skills for level 2's then you might as well split the standings increases, not that it would make much of a difference.
It will take you ALOT of level 1 missions to get a base standing of 2.5
The best way to get your miner his standings would be to train Connections to level 4, then start running level 2 courier missions. All you need is an Industrial ship.
Level 1 missions really aren't worth the time for standings gains.
