This probably doesn't change much, but I just realized that 5b can be done with other centers/edges besides DB. You can then solve everything else, and then do an r, r', or r2 to solve everything. This way, you can take advantage of small blocks that are already made. The only downside is that recognition might be a bit harder.
For example, let's say I'm solving with blue top, orange front. Normally for 5b I would do DB (red and green centers + a red green wing). But if I already have a blue center pair formed, I can make a blue-red or blue-orange block with the centers and a wing, place this block in DB, continue the solve, and then do a r, r' or r2 at the end.
Also, maybe I'm just missing some detail, but why can only 2 or 4 centers be unsolved? There can't be an odd number unsolved, but why can't there be 6 or 8 unsolved?
