should the recipe call for 2, 3.4oz packages of cheesecake pudding mix and not 2 3/4oz pudding mixes?

You'll need two 3.4 oz boxes of pudding mix for this recipe.

I'm not certain what your actual question is, however, I'll try to help. You'll need 1 box of cake mix plus the ingredients called for on the package to prepare. Generally, eggs, oil and water. I have also included the link to a homemade butter cake if you prefer to make it yourself.
