Even then, genin have no business making more than a single clone. [quote]Because of the manner in which the clones are created, the user must divide their chakra among the clones, potentially using up all their chakra fairly quickly if the user is low on chakra, or makes too many clones. This is especially problematic when the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique is used; whereas the normal version will only create a few clones, the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique can create hundreds. [/quote] Two clones is pushing it, more than two is a definitive no no from me. Besides the implication that you're basically committing suicide, it also is incredibly unlikely that you have both the skill and the chakra pool to maintain the clones.
