Why haven't they whipped up more batches of the "experimental" drug that they gave the two missionaries in Atlanta? Or have they, and I just haven't heard about it?

That's on the company itself. Every patient treated in the US has received some form of experimental drug. There is zero data on any of them to suggest that it helped, harmed, or had no effect on any of the patients who have received the drugs to date.

What is being done to accelerate ZMappTM production?
Mapp and KBP are working with the U.S. government to accelerate scaled up
production. The work to date has been funded by grants and contracts that were only
sufficient to produce doses for animal safety and efficacy testing. The present epidemic
has changed the picture dramatically, and additional resources are being brought to bear
on scaling up. It is important to note that the emergency use of an experimental
medicine is a highly unusual situation. As a consequence global high-level discussions
concerning the policy, ethical, and medical implications of this exceptional situation have
been initiated.
