Actually, it was long after Revan and Malak (at least 1000 years) that Darth Bane, the sole surviving member of the Sith Order in his time, decided that there should be no more than 2 Sith at any one time, and that they should go into hiding until a time when the they could return and complete the revenge they swore upon the Jedi. And I think we all know when that time was - "At last we shall reveal ourselves to the Jedi." It was in these wars that the Jedi thought the Sith completely obliterated by their own thought bomb. It makes much more sense that way, as there was always a Master and Apprentice - Revan had no Master, he just branded himself a Dark Lord of the Sith.
So that is why there are more than one in KotOR II. I'm pretty sure that "Darth" is intended to mean "Dark Lord" as well.
I wouldn't get too hung up on the Jedi consular thing, to me its just a classification, especially for the games purposes. In "reality" its much more broad. For example, both Yoda and Mace Windu (and others I imagine) are more skilled than the vast majority of the order in both combat and in the use of the Force. What class does that make them?
I imagine "Sith" just wasn't thought of initially. Don't forget that all of these stories have arisen because George Lucas wanted to create a 3-part space opera, I imagine it just wasn't a word he had thought to use. I did think it was in the films somewhere, but you may be right.
