New instances are added into the cluster one at a time. So, if you wanted to add 5 new instances for some reason, it wouldn't break quorum. I don't follow your example, though, of 5 new hosts while the originals are down for maintenance.
The way Exhibitor accomplishes this is via shared configuration. The details of the rolling config change are here: https://github.com/Netflix/exhibitor/wiki/Rolling-Ensemble-Change (see the Details section).
