2->3 is easy b/c the shifter has a natural tendency to go to the neutral position. So I simply push the shifter up w/ a very slight pause in between and the shift can be completed flawlessly. However, I need to fight this tendency when shift from 4->5. I know my question seems trivial to some, but to me, if there are two approaches, one has to be better than the other.
Your observation about the limited amount of time is legit. The RPM differs by about 30% 2->3, but only 20% 4->5. As the engine is losing the speed when you let off the gas and clutch in, 2->3 gives you more time than 4->5.
