Yes, you can do that (the playlist count is kept on the computer, not on the central server, for reasons which should be obvious). It's not really a true benefit as most people don't have five computers with CD burners and iTunes, but still ...
And, who has five computers? I do. Granted, not all of them play tunes. But I definitely have three that need to play tunes (one at home; one at work; and the laptop when I'm traveling), plus one more that might need to play tunes (the kids' computer at home), and I "lost" one of my allocated computers due to foolishly reinstalling Panther on a box without deauthorizing it first (oops.) So the five-computer limit is really nice for me. Now my effective limit is "4", which is one more than what I absolutely need, instead of "2", which was one less.
