Of course, arbitrarily just adding a fifth field will only work if the package is following PVP (i.e. using 4 version fields), and AFAIK there's no way to explicitly know/state that.

PVP does not mandate exactly 4 components; n>=3 is valid. (and of course bumping (n+1) is not safe, as the maintainer might decide to publish a new version that adds a new component.)
