As long as you don't expect sample sync between the seperate soundcards, it should be verymuch possible to record from 5 different soundcards at once, i.e. with 5 arecord processes. arecord -f cd -Dplughw:0 arecord -f cd -Dplughw:1 arecord -f cd -Dplughw:2 arecord -f cd -Dplughw:3 arecord -f cd -Dplughw:4 As you don't really specify what your usecase is in more detail, it is really impossible to help you with your nonspecified problems.
