Maybe 8mm+/-.
I see what you mean I think. Sometimes the seeing just isn't cooperating with 4.7mm so you want something in between 5mm and 10mm.

The usual fill in would be 7mm. Don said around 8 because the question was filling in-between 5 and 11.
The affordable options would be the 7 Luminos/Astromania (really 6.6mm) or the AT 7UWA (really 7.7mm). The Luminos is really the better fit between 4.7 and 10, especially when you consider it is wider AFOV than the 10.
Premium options would be Pentax XW, Nikon SW, Nagler or Delite.

Alas, the earlier 4.7mm, 6.7mm, and 8.8mmand of course if you wanna stick with es they have the 6.5mm 82* (and 8.5)
were much better eypieces than the 4.5mm, 6.5mm, and 8.5mm. Buy the earlier ones if you can.
