I don't think Tolkien reconciled the nine rings conclusively. It's one of those plot holes pitting the fabric of such a sprawling tale. And the inconsistency in the plot logic is nowhere more noticeable than after Isildur cuts the One Ring off Sauron's finger. If Sauron had the Nine, then they would have been lost in the fall of Barad-Dur (which would not be raised again for centuries).
