Yes, I purposely dropped that requirement when writing the PEG
morphology, since it was arbitrary and not needed for anything.
There's no reason to allow ".a'a'alto" but forbid "pa'a'alto" due to
some strange counting of letters rule.

It was observed that in all lujvo and gismu there is a consonant
cluster within the first five letters, and someone thought it was a
good idea to impose this as a rule for all brivla, but since this is
not something that is required to define lujvo or gismu, nor is it
needed to make the parsing of fu'ivla unambiguous, it is a pointless
rule.
