There is no hard coded limit. 4 is the number of masters we have tested
extensively with. The MMR protocol supports a theoretical limit of
65000+ masters, but we've never actually tested with that many :-) The
practical limit is the number of threads, since each replication
agreement is a separate thread within the server process. So at some
point you will see performance degradation, depending on what type of
processors you have, how many you have, the amount of RAM, the size of
your databases, and the transaction rate.
That being said, 5 masters should work. Please let us know, if you try
it, what your experience is, and some information about your replication
topology.
