Funny thing is, they actually changed how Stage 5' is accessed in the remake, though most people prolly didn't notice - Death apparently swipes the boss orb that leads to 5' if you try to get there normally before beating him at 5. So it's no longer strictly a postgame thing.
IGA confirmed in the official Dracula X Chronicles guidebook that Shingo Takasuka, who's pretty much only known for being the producer/programmer for the Winning Eleven (Pro Evolution Soccer) series, made the original Stage 5', which is why it was so weird. I guess it was basically made as a favor.
TCRF says that there's room for at least three levels, and those slots house early versions of existing levels. There's also that mystery "Stage X" text, but that may or may not just be related to Peke.

Wikipedia can be the absolute fucking worst for gaming coverage. The regular editors there are clueless and a lot of times you have to kiss their braindead ass to remotely fix anything, and god help you if you fix too much at once because then they will hit the magic undo button over one petty subjective thing that takes more effort to explain in an edit summary than it does to touch up manually. I know fan-wikis get a bad rep sometimes, but a lot of the gaming regulars at Wikipedia are literally their rejects. And then since Wikipedia is a naturally bigger site and often is the first search result, journos often hit it up and regurgitate bile from them, somehow validating their subpar attempts in their eyes and making them more resistant to change in a brutal vicious cycle. You can be totally correct in every minute detail and actually contribute meaningfully, but if you ruffle the slightest feather they will arbitrarily wiki-lawyer and even last-word you with inane bullshit arguments that make no sense in any reality but their own. TL;DR centralized wiki is kill, decentralized wikis are the future.

IGA confirmed it in the official Dracula X Chronicles guidebook. Shingo Takasuka, who made the original stage, apparently went on to become the producer/programmer for the Winning Eleven (Pro Evolution Soccer) series of all things, which is like the only other thing he's known for.
