The original books were a trilogy:  "The hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy"
followed by "The restaurant at the edge of the universe" and finally "Life,
the universe and everything."  The fourth book came out later and was titled
"So long and thanks for all the fish."  The fifth book followed at some
point, it was "Mostly harmless."

It's somewhat akin to Asimov's Foundation Trilogy, which was later followed
by several other books.  First the sequels: "Foundation's edge", "Foundation
and Earth". And then the prequels: "Prelude to Foundation" and "Forward the
Foundation".

How does a Trilogy become 5 parts?

Would not that be a Pentalogy?
