If you check to compare, the difference between the 4f chart on p. 134 (that I posted for you), and the 5f chart on p. 235, is at the following beaten length margins (but I'm glad you found your book):

Margin - points

4f: 1 1/2 - 5 5f: 1 1/2 - 4
4f: 2 1/2 - 8 5f: 2 1/2 - 7
4f: 3 1/4 - 10 5f: 3 1/4 - 9
4f: 3 1/2 - 11 5f: 3 1/2 - 10
4f: 4 1/4 - 13 5f: 4 1/4 - 12
4f: 4 1/2 - 14 5f: 4 1/2 - 13

As I said, perhaps so, but it looks like a duplicate. What then are the beaten lengths for say, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 lengths at 5 furlongs in the book?

I have a sneaky suspicion they will be EXACTLY the same as what you posted for 4 furlongs.
Yes, the charts are the same at those points.
