I thought the rule of two only allowed for 2 sith to exist at the same time. So since Sidious and Dooku fulfilled the rule of 2, Maul could not have been Savages master.
Rule of two mostly helps with evil plots and secrecy. I don't think it prevents one Sith from claiming himself Sith lord and taking an apprentice, at least it didn't prevent Maul from doing it. This kind of rule also prevents egomaniac Siths from becoming lords, they're so crazy it would be a huge political mess.
In fact Sidious and Maul were ruling two different Sith orders. And Sidious didn't like it, at all.
Sidious wasn't aware Maul survived before he took Dooku as an apprentice so it was only a mistake.
Anyway rules are made to be broken. ;)
