For toolbars within the Windows taskbar, Win7 lets you specify if you want to use small or large icons. If you select small icons for a toolbar, but large icons for the primary taskbar, the icons in the toolbar occupy half the height of the taskbar.
Another row of icons will fit nicely directly under those small toolbar icons. Is there a way to get a taskbar toolbar to have two rows ("double-decker") of small icons in Windows 7 without making the entire taskbar double-height?

This is quite easy to do.
Unlock the taskbar, and grab the upper edge with the mouse and make it larger.
I just did this again here and it works fine.
Lock the taskbar after.
Is there a way to get a taskbar toolbar to have two rows?
As I understand your question, no. A toolbar can only have a shortcut (up arrow) in the toolbar. Again as I understand your question, Windows 7 (looking here) is the same way.
If you wish to add a Toolbar, right click on the Taskbar and add it. It will show up as a double up arrow.
I added a screen shot of the new Toolbar I use and the Flyout.
If you wish to have this particular toolbar:
Right Click on the Taskbar Select Toolbar, New Toolbar. Add the following content in the space provided: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs . Save the toolbar. It should call itself Programs.
You can make the toolbar show up in the taskbar by dragging one of the separators over top of the icon. This, for me, leaves a taskbar with some icons and still a flyout. I tend to need more predictability in my setup but that, of course, is personal preference. All you need is here.
