Which method and recipe did you use ?
With a 5GB disk, the only available recipe should be "small_disk"
without LVM. On BIOS setup it requires at least 2.5GB disk space so it
should not fail on a 5GB disk (I just tested).
Other recipes require 7.5-12.5GB, so they should not be offered.
I'm not sure *where* I'd put the limit, but failing to partition a 5G
or 10G disk really doesn't seem acceptable to me.
Our assumption was that guided partitioning primarily targeted casual
desktop/laptop users who want to install a standard system with a
desktop environement, so we raised the limits of the "standard" recipes
(atomic, home, multi) to enforce this use case. The "small_disk" recipe
was added to support small disks in other use cases.
Maybe we went to far ?
