He could have created thousand's of "Cell's" easy and owned Gohan.

Actually Seru cannot regenerate his body from a single cell, as this is a false rumor brought about by the anime (particularly the dub). In reality, there is a lump of tissue in Seru's brain (sometimes called a regenerative node) that is responsible for him regenerating damaged parts of his body. It was that regenerative node that survived when he self destructed on Kaiou-sama's planet, allowing him to regenerate.
Now you're probably going to say "Explain then why he could regenerate after Gokuu's Kamehameha blew his head and torso away?". A long standing theory of mine is that he also has a secondary regenerative node somewhere in his lower body as a fail safe system, in case the primary node is destroyed, or at least damaged enough that it can no longer trigger a regeneration. It would act to regenerate the body and restore the primary node to working order, then go dormant again until such time as it is needed again.
In short, he can't regenerate himself from a single cell, and wouldn't be able to produce copies of himself in the manner you are suggesting.
