I agree that movies should not be limited to reality but this movie was very careful to have a rational explanation for each and every magic trick. Cloning is not a rational explanation. My interpretation is that Algier's first test of the device was not shown, and simply resulted in his realization that he had been tricked by Tesla. At that point, he would not have given up. He was obsessed and would go to any length to outdo Borden and ruin Borden's life. The very reason he hooked up with Tesla in the first place was because Borden tricked him, not because Tesla could build anything magical.
During the final conversation between Borden and Algier, as they're talking, the screen shows all those hats piled up outside Tesla's workshop. This is a big clue. Were those hats cloned or not? It's absolutely up to each viewer to decide but I do think one interpretation is correct and one is incorrect.
I wonder if the book makes it clearer.
