Of this Orderthe number is unknown, but of those that came to Middle-earth, where therewas the most hope (because of the remnant of the Dunedain and of the Eldar that abode there)the chiefs were five
Bold highlight added by me

We always speak of the 5 wizards- Saruman, Radagast, Allatar, Pallando, and Gandalf, yet this passage indivates that these five were the chiefs. This seems to indicate that there may have been many more wizards, perhaps of lesser stature, wandering around during the Third Age.
