Bart, there is a rule that says it's a T to have more than five team members participating simultaneously.
There is not a rule that says it's a T to only have 4 players participating.
The rule you're applying to the situation requires the 5th player to return to the floor illegally. If he doesn't return to the floor until he can legally do so, it's nothing. It's not illegal if he never returns. He simply must do so at the next opportunity. That is the intent of the rule.
