You can call the template tag in two ways. The first uses a string as a parameter, and the second uses an array:
wp_list_authors_plus(
'order_by_posts=DESC&excluded_roles=editor, contributor&excluded_ids=1&excluded_usernames=onion'
);
wp_list_authors(
array(
'order_by_posts' => 'DESC',
'excluded_roles' => 'editor',
'excluded_ids' => array( 1, 2, 3 ),
'excluded_usernames => 'admin'
)
);
