Actually the rule of 2 is rather...wrong...to be honest...the Apprentice is always trying to supplant the Master...and so usually they're training an Apprentice of their own while their Master is still alive. Additionally, if the Master feels the Apprentice is going to betray him, he'll also train an Apprentice...so the "rule of 2" can actually sometimes be wrong, in that there can be a maximum of 4 Sith at any one time. However, it is possible to have many Dark Jedi...the Dark Side of the Force, a Sith does not make. The only Sith around Palp's time have been Plageous (his Master), Maul (his 1st apprentice we know of), Tyranus (his 2nd we know of), Vader (his 3rd we know of), and Lumiya (his 4th we know of). He did, however, have many many many Dark Siders...examples would be the Emperor's Hands (which there have been 11 of that I can think of at the time), his Dark Side Elite, Dark Side Adepts, Darktroopers, Imperial Sovereign Protectors, Royal Imperial Guard, Inquisitorius, and also the Prophets of the Dark Side who followed his orders, though were not under his direct control. As well as all those groups of Force users, there are still random Dark Jedi who he trained but were not a part of any of the groups. To become a Sith, you have to be trained in the Sith arts, which are different powers than he would teach to regular Dark Jedi.

Anyway, other Force-users...Besides the Jedi Order and the Sith Order, there were...
[list]
[*]The Kilian Rangers - kept peace on Kilia IV and defended it from invaders
[*]The Aing Tii - monks who despised slavery and viewed the Force as colorful rather than Light or Dark
[*]The Dark Jedi - fallen Jedi who followed the Dark Side of the Force, but were less trained or knowledgable of the Dark Side as the Sith
[*]The Emperor's Hands - Dark Jedi who were more knowledgable of the Dark Side but were not Sith
[*]The Inquisitorius - another Dark Jedi faction underneath Palpatine, focused on breaking minds and interrogation and torture
[*]The Prophets of the Dark Side - another Dark Side faction under Palpatine, which used the Force to peer into the future to aid Palpatine
[*]The Ewok Shamans - Ewoks that were Force adepts who, in their primitive beliefs, thought that they could perform magic
[*]The Fallanassi - a wandering group that followed the ways of the White Current (The Force) and despised the Sith
[*]The Gand Findsmen - part-shaman, part-law enforcers on the world of Gand, who hunted criminals with the Force
[*]The Infinite Empire of the Rakata - Dark-Siders who created the Star Forge, ruled the galaxy several thousand years before the Republic but died out from plague
[*]The Jensaarai - former Jedi who tried to put Sith techniques into their training and wore elaborate armor
[*]The Krath - rulers of the Empress Teta system, vicious Dark Siders who despised the Jedi almost as much as the Sith did and designed a nasty war droid
[*]The Witches of Dathomir - Force adept women who ruled the planet Dathomir
[*]The Nightsisters - exiled Witches of Dathomir who used the Dark Side
[/list]There are many more, but I could not find adequate descriptions of them.
Holy crap.
How much time did you take to find that out?
