Not a maximum of five. Let's say oscar got his 4 and 5 in rounds 1 and 2 of qualifying and then didn't score higher in the last two rounds of qualifying, I could get a 4 and 5 in rounds 3 and 4 of qualifying. That could also happen with the other score combinations you posted which ten people could have the same points.
When I explain round by round qualifying I always tell people to think that each round of qualifying is a separate race meeting. So it would be a four meeting championship with your best two rounds of the championship to count. Final standings in the championship is where you qualify in the finals. Usually people understand that.
