The difference between #4 and #5 is that #4, he read the book for five days, meaning that he could have started reading the book and five days later, he stopped reading and he didn't finish it. And #5 he finished it within 5 days. Does that make sense? And yes, #5 and #6 mean the same.
Also, #1 and #2 don't make sense.
