I have seen it done alot. If you are going to go with the "studs" then 5" spacing sounds very adequate. Most of the ones around here (90+ wind gusts) they use the pipe welded into a "v" shape, with horizontal pipes welded between the two long upright pipes, so you have a building that looks like this: v<>v

except the middle roof v"s actually rest on top of the bottom v"s. Sorta like an I beam with two flanges and webbing in the middle, if that makes sense. These can be spaced a lot further apart, and purlins attatched to them to hold the metal. They bear a lot more weight then just "studs" or upright single pipes every 5 feet. Hope that makes sense and helped.
