this is a collection of individual albums indeed:

i would enter a 5cd release with the barcode and the cat# of the whole  
box. additional add the individual barcodes to annotation of the box set.
if the albums as they are in the box where released also separately you  
can add them also (duplicating the box-set and removing the the other CDs  
while duplicating) with each their own barcode/cat#.
also if you can't find out if they were available on their own i wont  
oppose adding them too since (imho) it cannot harm too much if their  
barcode is searchable too.

best,
