Not sure I fully understand, and your "Tried" block seems to be gobbledigook, but how about
Code:
while IFS="" read -r LN
  do    [ "$LN" = "${LN##*id}" ] && echo "$LN" || for FN in *.bam
                                                    do echo "     -- bam $FN \\"
                                                    done
  done < file
/path/to/xxx.py \
     -- bam s1.bam \
     -- bam s2.bam \
     -- bam s3.bam \
     -- bam s4.bam \
     --ref /path/to/file \
     --run /ptah/to/data


EDIT: or
Code:
ls *.bam | awk 'NR == FNR {T = T DL "     --bam " $0 " \\"; DL = RS; next} /id/ {print T; next} 1' - file
