MnO = manganese(II) oxide
Mn2O3 = manganese(III) oxide
MnO2 = manganese(IV) oxide
Mn2O7 = manganese(VII) oxide
Manganese(II) oxide is also an important industrial compound. The plural for formula can be formulas. There's no problem with that. When naming MnO2, stick with the Stock system: manganese(IV) oxide. The common "manganese dioxide" uses the Greek prefix usually reserved for compounds of two nonmetals. Mn2O7 is not very common, nor is it very stable. You would be more likely to encounter Mn(VII) as the permanganate ion, MnO4^-, as in potassium permanganate KMnO4.
