How many of the extensions can I connect to my Qnap 453D? Is only one extension possible or even two on one NAS?

The TR-004 is seen as an external drive in QTS. If the NAS has several USB inputs, you can put one per input (in any case 2 units according to the TR-004 User Manual). I haven't tried this myself, but I don't see the limitation. Choose a USB 3.2 port. I connected mine with software management and only for backup (not as an extension to the raid storage pool).

Suppose I have created a Raid 5 with four hard drives and want to increase the storage later? Can I use four larger hard disks without further ado as with a normal nas or do I have to set up a completely new nas and the data will be deleted?

You should be able to either create a new raid group or expand your already existing raid group. No data loss involved.

Is it possible to connect it to any qnap nas? The problem is that my hard drives are full and I'm looking for a cheap way to expand them? Always no cheaper than using 4 new hard drives Is that possible?

Is it possible to configure a RAID on the TR-004 when using it only as a DAS or does it have to be connected to a full NAS? I am looking for a DAS with which I can configure 4-6 hard drives as RAID5. I don't need any network features, just archive storage with failover. My search has been rather difficult so far.

There are pins with which you can configure a RAID without NAS

if you create a raid 5 with only 3 disks, you are stuck with that, you cannot add a fourth without wiping out all the data. you must start with 4 disks if you want to have a fourth disk.

Yes that is right. You cannot expand or migrate.

I have a Qnap ts-451 in Raid 5. Can I extend my existing Raid 5 with this extension? Or do I then have 2 Raid systems? I use the NAS as storage for my Plex server.
