My question is, could one use the TWF feat chain to use the Claws as 2 seprate and normal melee weapons? The character would take the standard -2 penalty but be able to make more attacks. If not, how to make extra attacks?

This is generally taken to mean that a hand used for a weapon attack, can not be used for any other thing, even a natural weapon attack. But ... You can use a weapon in your main hand and get your claw attack for free. Your weapon hand gets your normal BAB. The Claw counts as a Secondary weapon. So if your BAB is 6/1, you get: 6/1 with the weapon 1 with the claw If you have the feat that boosts secondary weapons to -2 instead of -5, you get 6/1 and 4 If you also have the feat that negates all penalties to secondary weapons you get 6/1 and 6

If you are a half-dragon (or high level dragon disciple) I think there are a couple of feats in Draconomicon called Rapid Strike and Improved Rapid Strike, which would allow you to take extra attacks with a claw. - Ron ^*^
