I would personally run multiple 3-4 player games, rather than combining them. If you have the huge Double Drum mat, you could run its scenario where you run two separate games until there are only 4 players left and then open up the gates.

You might be able to slide by at a 5 player game, but it really does start to bog down after 4, and you start to have balance issues with too many attacks happening on a single target in a turn, especially if someone has gone out of control. They won't have the ace tokens or defense to manage it.

Running it that way, especially for new players, doesn't give the best experience for the game.
