Yes, you can use any combination. Thread on boardgamegeek, where Donald confirmed that.

I would like to see Kingdom Builder enhanced so that it can handle 5 players instead of just 4 max. There has been discussion on this on the BoardGameGeek discussion boards at https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/833936/5-players

Donald Vaccarino commented in the Boardgamegeek blog:
"Donald X. @donaldx
Finally, the expansion adds a 5th player. They asked me what changes I'd want if any for 5-6. I said I wasn't keen myself to play with 5-6, but some people always want to, and maybe 5 was reasonable. I had already played with 5 with the main game, and found that it worked fine; you just spend more time waiting for your turn, like you'd expect. I also tried adding two boards (so, playing with six boards at once) to see how that went. It was also fine, although then you need to decide what you're doing about the scoring cards that are affected by this, especially Farmers. As you can see they decided to support 5 without rules changes. You just use up more of the space. "

Yes, it will take longer with 5 players than 4. But some game groups have a committed 5 players who will bypass Kingdom Builder because it prevents 5 "committed pals" from playing all together. Yes, IF you incorporate expansions that will allow 5 players, you'll be able to handle 5 players...but even the base game without expansions should be able to handle 5 players. Electronically, I'd think it would be simple to incorporate a 5th player.

LET'S GIVE 5-PLAYER GROUPS ACCESS TO KINGDOM BUILDER
