Am not sure of what medical you are referring to which you completed in "two stages"o_O

For Express Entry, you need to go POST ITA to a CIC designated clinic and specifically do an 'Upfront Medical Examination'.

You need the 'e-Medical Information Sheet' the clinic will give you immediately after your medical (same day) and upload a scan of it (and of your dependants, if any).

The VISA that will be issued will be valid till the validity of the medical, which is one year from the date you took it.

You can do that but it expires in one year.

Medical exams happen in two stages. Once when they hand out E-Medical Information and then the second one when you do a blood test.

Alright.

Anyways Medical has an expiry of 12 months. In any case your medical is valid for almost 2 - 3 months. Submit the document, and medical will be assessed as pass provided no medical complications are seen. Usually document completeness check is done , and in case immigration officer needs a fresh medical he/she will let you know.

Submit without thinking too much as the medical will still be valid.
Good luck
