Lets say I am getting a clutchmate. Is it possible for someone else to get another clutchmate from the paring?

Each breeding has, at max, two eggs from it. There is the hatchling, and their clutchmate.
If both of these are already claimed, then the only way to get an additional egg from that pairing is to do a second full breeding.

Okay. Thanks Arazia!

Hey, I have another Clutchmate question, so I hope you don't mind my posting on your topic.
This literally *just* hit me this morning, so I have to see if I can ask my question coherently.
When someone breeds for a clucthmate, whose Wyrm is using up their clutchmate count, or is it both Wyrms? Let me give you some examples:
Uncommon Wyrm 1 (U1) and 2 (U2) have three clutchmate breedings each, while Common Wyrm (C1) has five. U1 and U2 breed together and ask for a clutchmate for each handler. C1 asks to breed with U1 and have a clutchmate (which U1's handler does not wish for a clutchmate from this breeding) given to a new person. Whose clutchmate breedings are used up? Does this mean that U1 only has one clutchmate breeding left, or two, or three, while U2 has three, or two, and C1 has five, or four? If U1 and U2 breed together twice and want clutchmates twice, does that mean U1 gives up a clutchmate for the first breeding and U2 for the second, or are both used up for both breedings, leaving U1 and U2 with only one more clutchmate breeding each?
If Rare 1 and Rare 2 breed together and ask for a clutchmate, do either of the rares still have a clutchmate breeding left or are both Rares' one clutchmate breeding used up? If, once this occurs, R1 breeds with C1 and C1 wants a clutchmate, are they out of luck even though C1 still has clutchmate breedings left?
I hope this made sense. I'm quite curious about this for planning breedings. Thanks!

This is...
A very good question and I'm not sure how to answer it.
I'm going to forward this to HopefulMonster.

Okay.
I spoke to HopefulMonster today, and she said that she is going to lift any limits on clutchmates that have to do with rarity.
There is the possibility of there being a limit on breedings-per-season in the future, but that won't take place until 2013 either way.

Wow! I wasn't expecting her to do that. That's fantastically generous of her! <3

Woah, that's awesome! <3
So breedings per season, per Wyrm restrictions won't be in place for this coming breeding season (December)? Or does that mean a total number of breeding slots per season?

The normal restrictions based on the number of breedings they have will always be in place.
Starting next year, there may be a per-season restriction on how many breedings each Wyrm can have in that season.

I hate to ask this, but can we update the Wiki to reflect this decision? Thanks!
