Ticks at 0.1 interval will be very closely spaced on an axis of length 5:

[1] 51

There's no way to both have ticks at 0.1 and not have ticks at 0.1,
which is what you seem to be asking.

Why do you need that many ticks? Can you place them at .5 instead? Or larger?

Otherwise I suppose you could just make a bigger graph. You don't
provide reproducible (or any) code, so I have no idea what graphics
device you're using and can't provide specifics.
