Yes I believe the 5th seat in a division may not even need a quota even with the surplus coming their way.

They need a quota. Total of 5 quotas = 100% of valid votes. If last seat is pretty even across 3 or 4 candidates (maybe each with 0.2 of a primary quota), then its inch by inch as the tiddlers get eliminated, and you wait till the others on ~ 0.2% primary getters get swept away. Can take ages.

That’s assuming no votes are lost??.

Or the scenario where 3 candidates are left contesting last 2 seats. In this case the last candidate is eliminated leaving 2 for 2. And one of both may not necessarily have a quota.
 
Greens Senator commentator McKim now saying that the Tas parliament is 'broken' because of only 25 members (vs 35 previously). This is the one he served in coalition government with Labor.

Sour, sour, bad losers.
