You ask "is it worth it to make a 4 square array of 5/8 wave
verticals?"
First we need to determine if it is POSSIBLE to do that.
I've never seen a published example of that, and my gut
feel tells me it isn't practical. 4 square
arrays use 1/4 wave verticals. You can extend the analogy
to 1/2 wave vertical dipoles fed in their centers with baluns.
But I don't see how 5/8 wave verticals fed at the bottom
would work that way, and it isn't clear what the optimum
spacing should be.
