Actually according to Ved, a woman's all children are considered her first husband's chidren.
I read this in this forum. Gandhari was first married to a donkey so Bheem teased Duryodhan that his father is a donkey so when Dhrirtrashtra came to know of this then he threw entire family of Gandhari shakuni included, inside a jail and would give them just one grain of rice for the entire day.
Gradually, the whole family died due to hunger as they used to give their grains to Shakuni so that he could live and take revenge from Bheeshm and Dhritrashtra.
So that way Karn is also a Pandav well I have no idea why he was never considered before to be a Pandav. As for Karn being a Radhey, he would always be Radhey before Kunti just like Shri Krishnji is Yoashoda maiyaa's son first then Devki nandan. But both Shri Krishn and Bheeshm called Karn Kauntey too when they went to speak to him about not fighting this war.
