So all of the above rules which you cited about becoming a legal player once the ball becomes live do not apply. Those rules are for when an incorrect substitution occurs or the referees fail to direct a player to leave the game.

If they did apply, the team would have to play with six until one of them fouled out (since you certainly aren't going to accept a substitute for the sixth player).
