That's.. not quite right. Did you get this from skimming Wikipedia? It's true that the first TNG ep featuring Alexander had someone other than Bonsall play the role, that kid stopped acting almost immediately after. Bonsall played Alexander for the rest of TNG. They age up Alexander significantly for his return in DS9, so, yeah, needs a different actor. There's a TNG ep where Alexander comes back from the future to try and correct what a shitty character they made, so that's probably your "fourth" Alexander and I'm not sure where the fifth comes from.
Edit: Looked that one up. The "Fifth Alexander" is a technicality. Worf has a picture of him and Alexander as one of his personal effects that he brings with him onto DS9 and the person in that picture "playing" Alexander is uncredited, but makes no other appearance other than being in that photo.
