Yes, need more clarity, but I think each file is an independent set of data, rather than needing a paste job, one line from each. On that assumption, the following code will create one comma-delimited line for each 5 lines of input. Each file is assumed to have a multiple of 5 lines. In the event that a file is incorrect and does not contain a multiple of 5 lines, output lines could be shifted for that file, but the FNR check will ensure alignment at start of next file. I assume an entire line represents one data column, such as "john smith" which includes a space.
Code:
awk '{\
if (FNR==1 && linecount!=0)
  {print ""
   linecount=0}
linecount++
if (linecount<5)
   printf "%s,",$0
else
  {print $0
   linecount=0}
}' DATA?
