Can the optional character roles be used in a 5-player game?

The designer recommends it for 5 players, and the rulebook adds a 5-player note for Percival.

Yes — the rulebook lets you mix the optional roles freely, no role needs more players, and the designer recommends 5-player games with the Merlin variant. With Percival at 5 players, include Mordred or Morgana. The Lady of the Lake is best saved for 7 or more, though the designer also uses it at 5.
