It's all streamed from the Wii U. However, the 1 Wii U tablet per console thing is a financial decision, not technical. Nintendo already stated the Wii U could stream to more than 1 tablet at a time. But it's the costs to consumers for buying more than 1 tablet controller that is at the heart of their internal debate.

I rarely disagree with you, but I wouldn't completely make that assumption.
We know that the WiiU is limited in the main display if the padlet is being used for heavy graphical display. Multiply the padlet number by 2 and it could significantly affect performance, probably more than Nintendo is willing to bend to.
It's obviously all handled by the system, and games will take the resolution given the conditions of resource usage, but I'd bet that for technical reasons Nintendo preferred to avoid limiting graphics even further in the step-down scheme in a hypothetical case of 2 padlets, just my opinion.

Nintendo has already stated exactly what I just said. They can support more tablets but simply don't want to put too much financial strain on consumers. Don't forget how they are hyping up asynchronous multiplayer as well.

That's why I said they could support it, but they probably didn't for technical reasons. If they did support it, they would need to support it in down-stepping (which is already employed with 1 padlet using lots of graphical resources, high-end graphics and not just some 2D map). Put in 2 padlets and the downstepping, though possible, might not be what Nintendo wants in their final product.
Just sayin'.
