Umm???

If you're referring to idnits, it does no test the number of
authors
in any way or form.  I haven't checked whether the current,
soon-to
be replaced submission tool tries to check this, but idnits
does most emphatically not.

I apologize to idnits. I have seen documents rejected by some process because they had more than five authors, but I don't remember whether it was the submission tool or someone overzealous at the (present or past) Secretariat.
