Like Touka, Ayato was once shown to possess just a single wing on his right shoulder when they were younger during their encounter with Tsukiyama. It is more than likely that the number of tentacles for a Rinkaku and incomplete and complete sets of wings for an Ukaku are roughly the same scenario. Ayato has his full set now after intense quest for power whereas he only had one before, whereas Kaneki started out with the usual two(three in the anime, hard to tell from his first deployment of it in the manga) typical for a Rinkaku, then had the third coming out from time to time up until the point where he manifested for tentacles, which I´m speculating is the same as two wings for an Ukaku, thus a sign of fine growth.

No idea if Ukaku can gain further physically visible upgrades or if potency is their boon like it most likely is for Koukaku where some Rinkaku grow 6 or 8(curious on Roma's case, but I can´t say much there).

But regardless, while I doubt Touka is in possession of a dual-RC-type I´m fairly certain her kagune has grown it's second wing out by now. Also, if you look closely you can easily see there is a smaller similar appendage jutting out of her other shoulder, very easily seen in the anime but also visible on other occasions. She seems easily capable of switching the mass of her kagune to one side or the other, easily seen in Root A if you want to count it when she launched a flurry of shards at her little brother, but seemed to be at that point incapable of manifesting enough mass for both shoulders. Plus, she´s not that big an eater and Ayato might have snacked on scraps of opponent ghoul's flesh in the years of separation between them.

Final note however, when I looked at Narukami in the anime I noticed how the golden electrical it fires is the same that crackled around Touka's single crystallized wing as she launched a heavy barrage of shards down on Tsukiyama. More fuel to the "Uncle Yomo" speculation I so like haha...
