Engines with odd number cylinders

Hmm..... I had a dream last night, it was a X-ray view of a 4 banger but it was odd, I notice there was another cylinder and it was a little bigger than the other 4

Maybe this is a sign that I should build an engine like this

Is it possible to build an ( example of what I am talking about) 5 cylinder engine, but have a the 5th cylinder larger than the other 4 and it is only activated when the engine needs more power, kind of like AFM but....not

And here another question, how come automakers don't use cylinders with an odd number, like V3, V7, V9, V11, etc
