The idea is to separate the five, so that it would be impractical for all five to know each other or to break your trust. So for example, your dentist that you've gone to for 20 years, your lawyer, a trusted coworker, your wife, and your brother in China.
Of course, the 3 and 5 are not magic numbers. You could make it 12 out of 13 if you're really paranoid. You could make it 5 out of 25 if you want very low possibility of your data being lost (for example a large earthquake).
