Draupadi NEVER banned the Pandavas from having multiple wives. The ONLY condition was that these "other" wives shouldn't come to Indraprastha. That's it. Which is why Draupadi freaked out when Subhi came to IP after her shaadi to Arjuna. But she accepted her completely on account of being Govind ki behen.
So, who are these "other" wives of the Pandavas? Let's take a look, each Pandava separately, oldest to youngest -
Yudhishthira - Devika, daughter of Govasana of the Saivya tribe. They had a son called Yaudheya.
Bhima - Hidimbi (Hidimbaa), a rakshasi, and they had a son called Ghatotkacha; Valandhara, daughter of the King of Kashi, with whom he had a son called Sarwaga.
Arjuna - A nagkanya called Uloopi, their son was called Irawan; Arjuna fell in love with Chitrangada, the princess of Manipur, and they had a son called Babruvahana; Arjuna's last biwi was none other than Krishna's own priya behen Subhadra, who became mother to the heroic Abhimanyu.
Nakula - Chedi ki raajkumari Karenumati with whom he had a son, Niramaitra
Sahadeva - Vijaya, daughter of the Madra king, Dyutimat. They had a son called Suhotra.
