In all honesty, it would be better for them to be subjected to cramped conditions for a short amount of time rather than having your amount of hamsters grow to 20+ in cramped conditions. You're doing well in caring for them all so far, don't get too stressed out! Keep us updated and ask if you have any more questions

As long as you're sure which are females & which are males you can keep all the females together for a short while but they will soon be growing up & need to be kept alone or they will fight, syrian hamsters are solitary animals & must live alone.
Please don't breed your hams again for more babies, unless you have studied breeding & genetics you could end up with hams that have real problems & do remember that each & every one of them will need it's own cage at a fairly young age so unless you have a huge amount of space to provide them all with good cages then it is unfair on them.

If one of the females is pregnant she definitely needs to be kept alone & she should be left in peace with as little disruption as possible, so just giving her food & water or she may kill the pups when she gives birth.

I love your determination to keep them.
Fingers crossed there's no unexpected pregnancies.
