(...) I tried 4/3/3 - but it didn't work. The triangles couldn't connect to form the pentagon. The other problem is since I'm using the 1x4 hinge plates, if you go shorter than four studs on a side of the triangle you have to come up with a (...)

(...) I don't have the parts to try this out, so my suggestion may be highly disposable. How about making each black triangle a 4/3/4?
