I have been reading about how experience works. I understand that my lvl21 rog may have less exp points than the lvl20 bard I group with. What lvl should the rog be vs. the bard for maximum exp?

I'm going to explain how I believe it works, please correct me if I'm wrong.
The
total amount of experience the two of you get from a mob will not change with your relative level. The only difference will be what percentage of the mob's exp each of you get. The game divides a mobs exp up between players based on
how much experience each character has earned in their life. This strategy takes into account level differences. For example... if a level 55 has earned 4x the experience of a level 50, when they group the level 55 will get 80% of the exp for the mob.
Let's do an example, at the same level. Let's also assume that it takes a total of 1 million exp to reach level 20 on a character with no penalties or bonuses
The rogue has no penalties or bonuses. He has a standard 100% modifier. He has earned 1 million exp in his life.
The bard has a 40% penalty. He has a 140% modifier. He has earned 1.4 million exp in his life
If the mob was to grant 1000 exp, the bard would get
(1,400,000/2,400,000)*1000 = 583 exp
The rogue would get
(1,000,000/2,400,000)*1000 = 417 exp
Now let's say the bard was level 22 and the rogue was level 20. Let me pull some numbers out of my bum. The bard has now earned 1.6 million exp. Again, if a mob grants 1000 exp:
the bard would get
(1,600,000/2,600,000)*1000 = 615 exp
The rogue would get 385 exp.
So, the rogue get's less exp if the bard is higher level. But, the bard requires more exp. So to determine at what
rate (percentage) each of you would level at, you would need to look at the experience required to level and do a bit of math. Experience tables can be found in the wiki under game mechanics.
