Is it possible to build an ( example of what I am talking about) 5 cylinder engine, but have a the 5th cylinder larger than the other 4 and it is only activated when the engine needs more power, kind of like AFM but....not

And here another question, how come automakers don't use cylinders with an odd number, like V3, V7, V9, V11, etc

Because they are a nightmare to balance, seeing as one side of the engine would have an extra cylinder.
