How about this:

Person who gets the Red must sit out two halves--if it's the first half, he simply sits out the rest of the match in which he's currently playing. If it's in the second half, he sits out second half, and then first half of the following match his team plays in the same league (EPL, UEFA CL, FA Cup, etc.). In addition, at no time while the player is serving his suspension, may his team use more than ten players.

How about that for your morning cup of coffee?

But sticking with your original thought, I don't think it matters. If you earn a Red, you get a Red, no matter when it occurs. 99 times out of 100, a straight Red is so flagrant that it is well-deserved. If it's two Yellows, well, the first Yellow served as a warning to straighten your arse up.

I'm opposed to the general idea of a red card in the first place. If a player gets a red, or two yellows, for a bad tackle, dissent, time wasting etc... I'm all for them getting sent off and suspended if need be. However, I don't think it should result in the team having to play a man down. The only exception would be if the red was for preventing an obvious goal scoring opportunity such a last man from behind tackle or a Suarez like handball off the line. I know no one will probably agree with this but I can't think of any other sport where a rule like this exists.
