Fluorescence line shapes and cooperative spontaneous emission in disordered one-dimensional molecular aggregatesare calculated using closedexpressions derived by applying the method of optimal fluctuation. A simple scaling relation Ls ~ \sqrt{&omegas} is established between the low temperature disorder-induced Stokes shift &omegas and the superradiance enhancement factor Ls. Scaling of the Stokes shift with aggregate size, and the time-dependent Stokes shift are discussed as well. Excellent agreement is obtained with numerical simulations.
