United States Gypsum, who owns the trademark "Sheetrock", manufactures drywall in 48" and 54" widths, and in lengths from 8' to 14'. See the link below. The 54" width is used for construction with 9' ceilings. There are other brands of drywall, but I doubt whether it is available in a 5' width.

I am not sure about 5x10 but I have got sheets 5x12 which I used on large walls. Beth and Wayne are wrong, sheetrock does come in 5 ft width, but not everyone carries it.

You can special order it through some lumber yards but you need to ask for at least a pallet worth, before they would get it for you. Otherwise they'd have to find another buyer for the remainder of the pallet.
Another way you could lay out the 4' width to make it work?? Most sheetrockers can make that width do anything! :)

Sheetrock only comes in 4' widths
Lengths 8'-10'-12'-14'-16'
Some more readily available than others

I do know the Home Depot in our area carries 4 1/2' x 10' and 12' lengths.

Never heard if 5X but 4 x 8,10, 12, 16, sometimes 20. But you'll need 3 workers to hang it!

Tough to find item. Best to get 4 x 10's and half them for your 5 ft widths.

Haven't ever seen or heard of such a size. I know that 4X12 sheets are readily available.

Usually to get drywall by 5ft you have to buy it from a drywall factory of some sort. Like "P&A Drywalling"

yay for TECH DUDE & PB70 !
MORRIS: your answer may have been honest, but like TECH DUDE I have never heard of 60" gyp board.
the rest of you don't know what you're talking about.
but then, I had never heard of lengths longer than 12' .
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
