In a lot of cases, there is hardly any point in getting more than one
datajack. There are only two cases where more than one is useful, it seems
to me:
1) when you want to jack into multiple things at once -- a remote control
deck and a rigger-modified vehicle, for example, or a cyberdeck and a
computer; or
2) When you want to be a rigger/decker combo (see Rigger 2, where it
explains how rigger jacks differ from decker jacks).
Most of the time, though, you should be able to do just about anything you
want with only a single datajack. I used to have a rigger character with
two datajacks, but after I while I swapped one for a softlink, simply
because I never used both.
