It's unlikely that scenario will happen. You'd have to make sure that the gear reduction itself reduces the current draw by roughly 20% with the 5S setup. I'm not sure that gearing for the same speed with both batts would do that. I think the only way you would really know how close you can match the current draw of the setups is to run them on an Eagletree or similar datalogger.
