Divide ( watts/volts=amps)
Check your relay amperage.
So, 15/12=1.25 watts.
If your relay is a 30 amp and your wire will handle the amperage.
You should be fine.
30 amp relay/ 1.25 amp per pair= a crap ton of lights

so with about 9A total being drawn by the 5 lights, I should be in the clear, right?

There is a safety factor on a relay. I don't remember the exact number.
IMO, you should be ok.
Hopefully, a couple other guys will confirm my thoughts

I run 4 duallys out the back all through one wiring harness I just soldered the sires together and they've been fine for months. I probably wouldn't do 5 D2's though since they do eat up more wattage. I'd say run thicker wires or two sets to a relay then to one switch.
