How could we modify the setup to incorporate two Thunder Boards and one Raspberry Pi? This should improve sensitivity, correct?

Bil999,

Directional? Really? That's a new one on me. Do you have a link I could look at?

On to your question about two thunderbirds and one Raspberry Pi. Because of the AS3935 known I2C issues on the Raspberry Pi, the best way to try this is to get an I2C Mux board:

shop.switchdoc.com/products/i2c-4-channel-mux-extender-expander-board-grove-pin-headers-for-arduino-and-raspberry-pi

And place one Thunderboard on each segment. Do not put anything on the main bus off the Raspberry Pi. Keep everything on separate segments.
