No, it didn't make a whole lot of sense. I understand what elfchick is getting at here.

He says "My company are those loyal to Rohan, and for that we are banished", so I assume he was just thrown out of Edoras by himself and most of the soldiers followed him willingly. I agree it's a bit odd that he just disappears with them all right until the climax of the movie. However, I've been playing Battle for Middle Earth (based on the movie) where several of the missions have Eomer and his men fighting Saruman's forces in random places in Rohan until they go to Helm's Deep, so I guess he just left to fight elsewhere.
