Mine is in storage and I would have to go measure it. But the length behind the axles is going to be proportional to the overall length of the 5er and the weight distribution in it. The axles must be located to balance the weight fore and aft to get the appropriate weight on the pin. Some of those 40'+ 5ers have a LOT of trailer behind the axles, but I have not seen any reports of anyone having a problem due to that overhang. I would be more concerned about tail swing on sharp turns with that much length back there.
My 5er is a 35' Montana and after 10 years, no problems on any cracking.
