Very clever, Johan! I don't think I would have come up with such a neat
solution.

I AM a harpsichordist, and in fact one who has played a whole lot of
continuo. I've never seen this notation. I question whether it means
anything more than 5- . Is it in a modern edition or a facsimile? Engraving
or handwritten manuscript? Who is the composer? Could you possibly scan the
spot where it occurs (including the other parts and the previous and
following measures) and email it privately?
