This is my first theory, yup and I know you don't care 'bout that.
So I recently reread Naruto and I noticed this:
We all know how the dead demon consuming seal (Shiki Fuujin) works.
You can reread about it here:
The important part is that once the sealing is done, the RDS "eats" the souls (both the sealer and the one who was sealed).
Now when Hiruzen used the Shiki Fuujin with his clones, they may have disappeared (as they are clone). Yet the RDS can be seen eating the souls of the clones along with the 1st and 2nd Hokage.
Now you're going to tell me they are damn clones they disappeared inside the RDS. Also we can see the souls being attached to one body. So its the damn Hiruzen soul. This is where the oddity is! Next page, you can see the RDS cutting the souls and eating them. This is when the user should die (I'm thinking its like that, because Minato says he doesn't have much more time when the RDS is getting ready to cut his soul, see after). We know that the soul of the user is attached to the Shiki Fuujin when you perform it.
BUT Hiruzen didn't die because of this "cutting". He had the time to go to Orochimaru, have a cup of tea with him while sealing his arms. Which suggests the clones were eaten and sealed inside alongside with the 2 previous Hokage.
Once something is sealed it is not like it can leave or disappear.

You've all seen when Minato used the RDS
same kind of stuff, the head of the sealed "person" appears next to the one of the user.
And you also all saw when Orochimaru broke the seal. Only 5 souls got released.
Now remember, we know the RDS is supposed to eat the soul of the user (and the sealed), so why only 5 souls went out of the RDS?
All of that brings us to the following possibilites:
1: Kishi was lazy drawing more soul(s) or he forgot about what he drew 500 chapters before, which is understandable.
2: Anything that is not really a soul (Kurama yin chakra, clones of Hiruzen) is forever lost in the RDS. <- this is what I think.
3: It is still in Minato but it doesn't make much sense as the other kages were released from Hiruzen and the clones disappeared.
4: The clones fused with Hiruzen. Which is unlikely as they didn't seem to have any contact inside the RDS.
here ya go, hope you enjoyed reading, and I know right, it's full of engrish.
