"is that it has"?

"The optimum is that cell 5 outer region has 9 or 10 resource blocks".
is this correct?
or should ie be: "The optimum is that cell 5 outer to have ..."?

"to have" is incorrect here. "has" in the first sentence may be OK, but it's a bit hard to comment without more understanding of the kind of thing you are talking about. I wonder whether "contains" may be better than "has", or whether it may be better to say "the outer region of cell 5" rather than "cell 5 outer region".

"contain" is ok but since it's not a container I used verb to have.
Anyway how about this third version: "the optimum is the outer of cell 5 to have/contain 9 or 10 resource blocks".

No, that is not correct grammar.
