I don't know where to find them, but LED calculators in the 70's sometimes
used 4 digit modules with a DIP-16 form factor. They looked like 4 bubbles
on top of a lead frame. That would make them about 3/4" for four; but I'm
not sure how you'd get 5 unless you could also find a 'single'.

Not very helpful, I know, but perhaps a step in the right direction...
