bit unsure on how the game rounds delay/haste but lets take a look.

Hasso w/unkai pants hasso bonus:

5-hit: 23.4 seconds to 100%
6-hit: 27.6

Add haste spell:

5-hit: 17.9
6-hit: 21

+ 2x marches

5-hit: 10
6-hit: 11.6

i used an assumed 7.3 second delay per swing for a 5 hit with march (capped values) your at 72.5% haste possibly a little less due to how bonk gear% and true haste is in any case only way i can think of to get any more haste at this point is haste samba which I've rarely found myself in a situation where i have all the planets align like that, so assuming i am dead on or slightly over 24% haste with all magic buffs on i still got a 6-hit build by 1.6 seconds assumed.

one more time no rounding:

5-hit: 10.014583
6-hit: 11.5805

6hit uses a sword strap, with more att/acc and you are forgetting the 120 second WS delay which favors 6hit over 5hit. Masamune has solid white damage also DA and Zanshin procs all favor the 6hit.
