I don’t think Draco would be willing to reveal that he can cast the Patronus. Not after he publicly didn’t even try to learn it, and presumably told everyone else what he told Harry, that it was a “Gryffindor spell”. Harry had to cash in a favor just to convince Draco to learn the Patronus at all, and we haven’t heard of him using it afterwards.
Even if he wouldn’t be willing to cast it himself, he has non-Slytheren students in his army who probably can cast the spell.
Telling them to use the spell in that fashion is useful for him.
Draco is good at using other people for things he doesn’t want to do himself.
We can just enumerate the students who can cast it, they were listed in the appropriate chapters. I don’t know if any of them would have stayed at Hogwarts over the holidays.
I accept it’s possible that these students have already learned how to send messages via Patronus, since Harry said he was going to teach his soldiers to do it.

Are you sure? We have account from what happened in the class for first year students and about the dementor. We don’t have any accounts what happens in the classes of more advanced students. We don’t have any accounts of their battles either.

You’re right. I keep forgetting that students are still segregated by year.
