There is no ‘official’ word. “iel” is considered singular, “iels” plural. 

An internet search will give many sites discussing the issue, including the link below.

Gender-neutral pronouns are used to refer to someone without specifying their gender. Common examples include they/them/theirs, ze/zir/zirs, and xe/xem/xyrs. These pronouns are often used by nonbinary individuals or when a person's gender is unknown. Using gender-neutral pronouns helps create an inclusive and respectful environment for everyone. https://swedentraveler.se/
