When you're talking about putting 5 pieces of materia on a piece of gear, you can't just put one stat in since a piece of gear will only upgrade a stat so much before it starts giving you nothing for the melds. He's probably melding as much as he can for each stat including CP since most jewelry can't be upgraded that high with Craftsmanship/Control materia. Almost every piece of gear though will probably have at least one piece of materia devoted to raising CP.
