They've only had three contracts.

One for each "season" ordered by MTV.

The first was issued after the mini-pilot they did back in 2010.

The second was issued in July of 2011.

The third was issued last summer.

There have been zero "multi-season" contracts or orders from the network so I don't know what you mean by getting a "season off" an old contract.

Jeff has now stated that HE requested the reduced episode order because 24 was too ambitious. Nobody is getting an extra anything.
