After filling over 8 double chests with enchanted books that were obtained exclusively through my enchanting table, only a fraction contain level V enchantments, all of which are Impaling V. Every book was created using the most expensive option (3 experience levels). This seems to defy probability.
To be clear, none of these books contain Sharpness V, Efficiency V, Smite V, Power V, or Bane of Arthropods V.

@Marek I am referring to the creation of enchanted books only, not the placement of enchantments directly onto items via the enchanting table. I am aware of the ability to combine enchantments, but the issue is strictly regarding the creation of newly-created enchanted books and the enchantments they contain. None of the enchanted books created through the enchanting table contain level V enchantments with the exception of Impaling.
Thank you for your report!

Pretty sure this is intentional. It depends on item enchantability - i.e. diamond sword can't get sharpness 5 from enchanting table because its enchatability is too low, but you can combine 2 level 4 enchantments using anvil.
