So iiuc what you need is to add 5 to the fret if you are on the 5th 
string, and not at fret 0?

This would need some scheme hacking, but

\property TabStaff.tablatureFormat =
#(lambda (string tuning pitch)
   (let ((num (string->number (fret-number-tablature-format
                               string tuning pitch))))
     (number->string (if (and (= 5 string) (> num 0)) (+ 5 num) num))
   )
 )

does it.

The auto-string-selector would not work correctly, but I don't suppose 
you would use it anyway.
