Kickoff from the 5 yard line?

It does make me think of the case where kicking from R's 10 to the GL makes an onside kick recovery effectively impossible....

But then again, I've never seen a kickoff from anywhere near R's GL. I think the farthest I've ever seen is from R's 45.

And if K wants to preserve that possibility, they can decline the distance that'd make it impossible.
