This is doable, and published. It is called a "migration" and not an
"upgrade".
I would read the MTU (Memo To Users) for 5.4, 6.1 and 7.1.

Caveat: I've never done this process for something more than two releases
back and their scenarios only cover that.
I've normally only done this scenario for releases too old for newer
hardware but still not more than two releases back..

Wait for comments from others.

Biggest concern coming from pre 6.1 to 6.1 and higher is object conversion
issues.

There should be ptf's for V5R3 to assist with this.
