I was wondering, in extreme cases, how far off the law of total tricks can be.

After a small amount of though, I have hands with 8 more total trumps than tricks, or 12 more total tricks than trumps. Can one do better than this?

Well you cant do better than 12 more tricks than trumps: the minimum number of trumps is 14 and the maximum number of tricks 26, and 26-14=12 ;)
