As long as you're not approaching the point of developer exhaustion with the five exposed rolls of film, it shouldn't matter. That said, I don't know how to easily determine whether or not a given setup is near developer exhaustion. To make life easier on yourself, I'd suggest making your test environment identical to your real environment. Perhaps you could get close with using just one roll...but then when you want to make sure that your results are accurate for 5, start using 5 exposed rolls of film...exposed "normally"...so you don't have all overexposed or all underexposed shots.
