For a 5 node cluster your initial Tokens should be:
tokens=5 ant -DclassToRun=hpcas.c01.InitialTokens run
run:
[java] 0
[java] 34028236692093846346337460743176821145
[java] 68056473384187692692674921486353642290
[java] 102084710076281539039012382229530463435
[java] 136112946768375385385349842972707284580
To see how these numbers were calculated :

Use nodetool move and nodetool cleanup to correct the imbalance of your cluster.
