If you want one sidebar for the HTDE group, then just create

HTDE.SideBar

and it should be used for all the HTDE-* groups, provided that your skin
template has the {$ClusterSideBar} bit in it.

What makes you think that the documentation says that you need to create
a $Group.SideBar page for each level in the cluster?  One *can* create
them, yes, but the whole point of Cluster is so that one can configure
things for a cluster of groups *without* having to do a separate
configuration for each group in the cluster.
