But I guess they will switch to 5 letters once they run out of identifiers
Considering that x.co/abc and x.co/12 and x.co/x all take you to different places, it appears that they have been adding an extra character ever since they ran out of single-character identifiers. So, taking the evidence that I provided, your guess is probably an accurate assumption.
