Rules Question: What can player do when they Split 4 Aces and get a 5th Ace?

So the player was dealt 5 aces in a row... Know this situation would be extremely rare.
(6 Deck, RSA, DAS, With a 3 split limit).

Can the player make a decision on whether to hit/stand/double the hand or would the 5th Ace be dealt sideways?

Example:
Hand 1:
A/A

Hand 2:
A

Hand 3:
A

Hand 4:
A

Split aces get one card. But I would try to split them. they can only inform you no further splits or let you split them.

This depends on the other rules regarding aces.

Since you've mentioned that the rules are 3 splits (up to 4 hands) I would assume that aces would be no exception and you could not re-split.

More than likely, you'll have 'no further action or decisions' as Shadowless put it but it is not unheard of for casinos to allow you to hit after receiving a card on a split ace or even for you to double on just the lone split ace itself.
