That's something I've been thinking about, actually. I'll share my thoughts on the matter, though they're not entirely fleshed out.

We all know that the Pinwheel is capable of creating copies of itself. We also know that it was either stealing Nito's power, or had already stolen it. So I'm thinking those other Pinwheels were copies of the original, albeit stronger ones. Perhaps they were being used to siphon off Nito's power, or had large amounts of his power used to create them, thus making them stronger than the regular copies. Alternatively, they could be regular copies, whereas the ones the Pinwheel uses against you in the boss fight are weaker ones, created as a rush job. After all, you do kind of just drop in unannounced.
