It is rare that the serial read will need to time out. We try to request the actual number of bytes expected. The usual problem is a setup that is particularly slow (convoluted chain to serial port, etc). With logging at max you should see if serial timeouts are occuring routinely.
The 5 seconds was from rough testing on particular hardware. Obviously we try to select conservative defaults to get systems to function by default. What problem are you seeing?
