Yes.

Create a blank image using createtruecolor() with dimensions big enough
to fit all five sub-images.

Then simply run imagecopy() five times, specifiying the new image as
destination every time, and each of sub-images in turn as source, and
calculate the position of the top-left corner in the destination image
each time.
