I tend towards a different line of thinking. As a character you should still be limited by the number of actions you have per turn. However what clones allow you to do is to take actions the original could not from different positions. You could for example have a clone dedicate an action towards setting a trap while you move and engage the opponent. Its more plausible and much more streamlined.
