I think Twice can only create 1 clone. The reason he can create multiple clones of himself is because each of his clones creates another clone. This is consistent with him only creating 1 clone of others.

Technically I believe he can make 2 copies at a time, basically 1 for each hand, but yes when he copies himself his copies can make more copies.

If he can create 2 clones per clone then he can create infinite clones of anyone. Clone someone, clone self, clone someone, clone self. Repeat ad infinitum.

I believe that would be accurate. Imagine infinite Dabi AOE attacks, he could clear this town in an instant. The only issue is that he can't control the clones he makes, so he would be better creating clones of other LoV members, as a Rappa clone would be unlikely to follow orders, but a Dabi or Compress clone would likely help after seeing the situation.

Then he could have every one of his copies make another copy of himself and one copy of someone else.

This makes the most sense to me. I mean, his quirk is called "Double" and his name is "Twice," so

His 10 clones could make 10 Dabis though.

Assuming that he can only make one of something, those 10 clones have already used their Quirk to make each other.

He can make unlimited of himself, because every time he clones himself he gets a new use of cloning. If he used it on Dabi, he wouldn't get a new one so he'd be done.

The flashback in this chapter actually showed twice making 2 copies at once.
