The five refers to the linemen # 50-79. This is shorthand for the press release. It is not the rulebook.
If they have:
80 77 65 50 72 66
12 44
22 39
was formerly an illegal formation foul, now this is not a foul.
If they have:
80 77 65 50 66 88
12 44
22 39
The foul would be for illegal numbering but not formation.
If they have:
80 77 65 50 66 75
12 44 88
22 39
The foul would be illegal formation for having more than 4 in the back field.
