Isn’t there some sort of provision with Texas that would allow it to break into 5 States within the Union?

That was revoked when Texas was readmitted into the Union after the civil war.

No. That was an option when Texas was first joining the Union but once Texas became as state then she fell under the same restrictions as any other state. And according to Article IV, any state can split into two or three or five pieces...with consent of Congress.
