I can add a to the profile of Susanna (Baldwyn) Hale. This is who I can add: Parents, Grandparents and two Great Grandparents

These are the sources I am using:

Familysearch.com

Should I contact one of the pre-1700 projects or know about any style guidelines before proceeding? Thank you!

It depends what part of family search you are using. There are parish records and other original records that are good sources. And there are family trees uploaded by individuals, which might be reliable but usually aren't.

"Family trees never qualify as reliable sources for pre-1700 profiles."  Please see the Reliable Sources help page.

If a family tree does cite reliable sources then the advise is to check that source and cite it on WikiTree profiles.

The marriage on the 20 Feb 1639 at Bishop's Cleeve entered on the profile appears to be incorrect. According to the Phillimore transcript of the register there was a marriage on that day between Richard Hale and Ann Maunsell (p 87) https://archive.org/details/gloucestershirep0000unse_g5d4
