the war lasted 30+ years. The covenant eventually glassed Reach, effectively cutting of any other colonies exsisting out there from Military support. If the Covenant didn't get them, they were on their own, and unless a UNSC ship came, they couldn't communicate with other cvoloies unless they went into spaceships themselves, and I doubt that civilians were brave enough to do that.
So there could be others out there, but not able to communicate.They could communicate without actually flying there. They had near-light speed communication.
On Topic: My guess is that they didn't literally glass every other colony, just all of the significant ones like Reach and Harvest.
