"- in five copies" synes jeg får det til å høres ut som om det ikke er noen original, så jeg får lyst til å skrive "- in quintuple", men jeg finner ikke noen bekreftelse på at det i det hele tatt går an å skrive det på engelsk.

Comment: "'In quintuplicate' is the expression that I was looking for, but I still settle for 'in five copies', which seems to be more normal language."

five original issues
Enig med deg i at 5 kopier høres ut som om de kommer i tillegg til en sjekke original, men du kan enten satse på at sammenhengen forklarer det, eller skrive "five original issues" (bare 'five issues' skulle dessuten holde).

five (5) copies (original plus four (4) copies)
Dette er en annen variant, når man spesifiserer hvordan tilbud ("tenders") skal leveres. Tallene er ikke obligatoriske, men ofte brukt. Engelsk har ikke noen faste og utvetydige uttrykk for dette, merkelig nok - som du selv påpekte, det er alltid tvil om "copies" inkluderer originalen eller ikke. Dette alternativet unngår et slik usikkerhetsmomentet. Hvis du bruker Google og søker på ordene: tender / copies/ original, vil du finne flere eksempler (min internett-forbindelse er blitt avbrutt, så jeg kan ikke vise noen her).
