Ok so i am mining a moon that has 2 batchs per cycle of a mineral but I can get 100 at a time and i can not setup another miner for the same resource is the 2nd batch of mins lost?

I'm guessing you mean that your resource has an abundance of 2.
The current moon harvester can mine 100 units of one resource.
CCP intended to release move version of the moon harverster. MK 1 - 4.
this is where the abundance comes in. the better versions of the harvester could get moet units/h out of the moon.
But CCP never seeded the MK 2- 4 moon harversters.

so no, you cannot get more out for moon, except a second harverster, but that is not an option.

One way to run a moon mining set up, if you want to run two mining arrays, is to find a moon with two lower end materials that will feed the same simple reaction. don't use silos just feed the mining arrays right into the simple reactor. You may lose some materials on occasion but low ends are not worth that much so no big loss. You can use a coupling array to prevent any lost materials, but I prefer to keep the extra PG/CPU for defenses. Two arrays feeding a simple reactor into a single silo leaves a decent amount for defense and other modules. At the same time you reduce the number of loads you need to haul out, and can make good profit off moon materials that might not be very profitable just selling the raw goo.

This of course works much better and makes way more isk with better moon materials, but any moon with a really good set of materials will be hard to hold, unless you are part of a large alliance to protect it. Most large alliances keep all moon GOO for the alliance coffers, so not much chance of doing personal moon mining there unless you set up at a lower end moon the alliance doesn't want. So either way you best chance is a lower end moon with complimentary materials.

There is also profit to be made in running reaction POSes. Even buying the raw materials to process thru simple and/or complex reactions can make huge profits.
