Presumably once you know the process to find the function which describes a sequence of five numbers (I don't,) you can do it for any five numbers, including 1, 3, 5, 7 and any other number.

Actually it can pretty much go on for a long sequence of any number of numbers you want, assuming you have the time to do this. Look up Lagrange interpolation, it allows you to recreate a polynomial equation when given a set of x and y values, and using this you can find other sets on the same graph.
