I really don't think they're going to reuse the cloning plot device again. They used it twice for the central characters, I think they know if they do it again it'll become a bit of a joke similar to nanomachines. We don't really know what degree of genetic understanding the philosophers had. From the sounds of things they spent more time seeking out unusual abilities than they did making them. I always got the impression that Clark was the first to ever successfully clone a human though I'll admit there's no hard evidence for that.
