Dear Jacques,

R1*5/4 is just fine.

R1 means fill the duration of a whole note with a full measure rest.
Naturally after a full measure rest, the measure should end. But here it
does not. Therefore the bar check error.

This way the duration of 5/4 is filled with full-measure rests (one) and
that matches the time signature. You can even fill several measures:

R1*5/4*2

fills 2 measures of your 5/4 measures.

Cheers,
Joram
