I feel Naruto himself is to blame for the confusion obviously. But its just a matter of being able to intricately divide ones chakra enough times. Larger reserves, make it easier for this as in Naruto's case. Those skilled in Chakra Control could divide their chakra up enough, and in some instances, not even distribute it evenly. But nonetheless, Shadow Clone and Multiple Shadow Clone are about as different as Chidori and Raikiri. Multi Shadow Clone is merely just a branch jutsu so to say.
