Spoiler!
I don't know if it does, does it negate the rule of two, not really, in the spoilers, it was pretty clear that these jedi hunters aren't Sith but would like to see the Sith return as they worship them like gods. I've always argued that the Sith line died with the deaths of Palpatine and Vader, there were no other secret apprentices out there unless you lived by the EU in which there were hundreds. These Jedi Hunters aren't even craving power or revenge, they are craving a return to a former state of government.
Now I'm going to have to see how they're going to bring back the Sith if that's going to happen. I would hate it if they bought back a long dead Sith Lord like Plageous or Sideous, to me that would be stupid, because frankly one of the things that I absolutely hated was the whole Sith ghosts. Jedi Ghosts are in canon because they are willing to sacrifice themselves and let go and selflessly return to the force. The Sith couldn't do it because frankly they did everything they could to avoid actual death and they refused to be sacrificed or let go of their life.
But if its a seduction of a current force user by a holocron promising them power that would be something else, but it would take years for a new Sith to become powerful and trained that way.
If I was going to write it, have the Jedi Hunters killing Jedi left right and center, and leave a small group alive, maybe Luke and Leia and a couple of apprentices. Luke finally faces the Hunters and dies horribly, one of the apprentices in a fit of rage and desire for revenge, starts hunting the Hunters, he knows he needs power and goes to Korribond or Moribond and finds the Holocron of Darth Sideous and becomes completely corrupted, and desires power over revenge and joins the Jedi Hunters and the Empire. The other Apprentice takes of the mantle of Jedi Master and becomes the lead in the second movie.
As well what they were fighting for wasn't neccessarily a new republic, or a return to the old days, that's an EU creation, they were fighting to get rid of the current government, who knows they might have wanted to replace it with something worse, like a theocracy with a Jedi at its head.
What the movie was really about was the Skywalker story, and I think this trilogy of movies has to draw that to a close.
