How do you put Multiple instruments on one stave shuch as 4 alto saxs or 5 flutes or 6 clarinets or any instrument which requires multiple numbers.

You can easily put up to 4 instruments of the same type on a staff by using voices. Since there are only 4 voices, this is the maximum number you can put on a staff. Be aware that you cannot separate these voices to individual parts if that is your goal. The 4 voices will currently stay on the same staff. Putting more on a staff would make the staff unreadable.

Indeed, you would never normally actually notate things that way in a score. But maybe you mean, you wish to write it that way - as chords on one staff - and then separate it into individual stave? For that, see the Explode tool, document in the Handbook under Tools.
