I've done analysis of time-course experiment with seven points, I
considered to use 3rd or 4th order polynomial. Eventually it turned out
that 3rd order is enought, 4th order gives nothing new.
I advise you to try with quadratic model, 3rd, 4th and maybe higer order
polynomial too and to look if it gives different results, if not lower
level polynomial is enought.

I've asked for longer than mentioned 5 time points series and I've been
informed that in case of 7 time points I can use normal workflow.

You can look in "packages" section at the Bioconductor website.
Hope it helps somehow.
