The piece I really want is 2x5 or 1x5 (or x7) bricks and plates. When
building a MOC that’s an odd number of studs wide, you have to either make
it asymmetrical or use x1 and x3 bricks which aren’t good for structural
support.

I’ve always found it interesting that 1x3 and 2x3 bricks and plates are the
only odd length elements of those general categories. As you mention,
there’s no 1x5, no 2x5, no 1x7, no 2x9 and so on.
I assume this is by design, but then you have to ask the question, “why not
just make them?” I’m not suggesting they dash off to the factory to start
churning out 1x13 bricks, but I think that perhaps the Nx5 and Nx7 pieces
could be a significant addition to what I think of as *classic* elements.
i.e. ones that either were or look like they could have been around since the
late 50’s.

Well, they’ve recently started producing 5L and 7L technic axles, which have
proved extremely useful (thanks!). And I always love to bring up the
5x9 plate they
documented but never made :)
