Probably around 7GB. If you remove the trivial 4 vs. 1 cases, which I did, then
it's only 5.6GB.

The most frequently used 5-piece tbs are probably those with pawns and various
associated promotions to avoid cases where the engine won't promote due to
missing tb files. Unless the engine is capable of handling these cases.
