My understanding of how gaining schematics works:
Level 1 -- get the first schematic
Level 2 -- 20% chance to gain the second schematic
Levels 3&4 -- 20% chance to gain the second schematic if you haven't already
Level 5 -- 100% chance to gain the second schematic if you haven't already
So you never get more than 2 schematics from leveling up a tinker talent. (this isn't a huge deal, because you'll get flooded with schematics through the game)

Since we're on the subject, any motivation to dump a talent point in one of the tinker categories? Are there level 7 devices to be made?
You mean a category point? There aren't any level 7 schematics that I know about, but it would mean you could get by with spending fewer generics in that category. (Probably not worth it, in other words)
