In your R workspace or not? Will assume this is an R dataframe.
With the same number of columns as the files to be updated? Will  
assume that the number of columns is the same and that you also want  
row.names.
What about separators? Will assume commas for purposes of example.

for (i in c("file1", 'file2', 'file3', 'file4', 'file 5') ){
      write.table( Xfile, file=i, sep="," , colnames=FALSE, append=TRUE)
      }
