The Meika's are sisters, however, are not said to be twins.

The Kagamines were meant to be twins, but CFM abandoned all canon for their Vocaloids, as they wanted to keep their Vocaloids open for fan interpretation. Since their androids, their not real people and "twins" didn't ever mean the same thing as twins though. Meaning that they were never said to be twin brother and sister, just twins because they were a pair. Wat describes it as having one soul split between two bodies.

So yeah, these two are the only official "twins" and Viper's right.

You could also note that Nana and Petit are sisters voiced by the same provider and originally Petit was "mini-Nana" meaning she was the same character but a "lite" form. Petit became more distinct over time from Nana and until she became a Vocaloid was just known as "Macne Petit" instead of her original name "Macne Nana Petit" for this reason. Outside of the Merli and Lapis dynamic, there aren't many Vocaloids who have official relationships with each other.

There is not much of an advantage to making twins at times, because the problem is displayed by the Kagamines. Len can never sound like Rin and Rin can never sound like Len while making the voicebanks. This is a limiter when it comes to updating vocals, the pair can't get away with the things Luka, Miku, Kaito and Meiko can get away.

My other thing is, to be frank... After Una was released I started questioning if there is a point to twins. Sugar and Spicy are basically Una in two different forms, but individually they are like twins, but the same could be said for any multi-bank vocal. v4 was the period I did start questioning the validation of multiple voicebank releases anyway, it was caused by Luka V4x and Megpoid V4, both with silly amounts of tone variation which producers barely use to their full potential. I understand in all 3 "twin" cases the "twins" are meant to sound like entirely different characters to their "twin", but honestly? now XSY is gone, there is no point.
