Aman, just a suggestion. For questions outside Ramayana, we can use the Doubts and Discussions in the Mytho Forum.
I haven't fully read Harivamsa but there are plenty of extra stories just like Raghuvamsa. The main epics concentrate on the main characters and don't mention others. 
I haven't heard about Sathyabama's sisters so far. All I remember is that Krishna had 8 principal queens and married 16,100 women who were captives of Narakasura.
Also, marrying off sisters of a princess who would be a queen to the same man was in vogue those days. I read another story which said Gandhari had 10 sisters who were also married to Dhritrashtra since they loved her a lot and didn't want to part with her. The names of such sisters are not mentioned since the princess who becomes queen gains importance and the others become subservient to the queen.
