Could this be somehow cheated? I mean, it's not like you are in a real room with real people, so how about just hiding the extra people from your screen? You could set your maximum group size to 5, so only the first 5 people are displayed to you. Additionally, you could "follow" some other participants, which means that they alway appear in the top of the list, so they are more likely to get to the selected 5. ("Following" is one-directional, not mutual.)
If this were implemented, you'd risk seeing only one end of a conversation, and things could quickly get weird.
I think that it will start feeling more impersonal on its own and in addition to that the chat will probably get flooded during the pomodoro breaks which will discourage some people from chatting and that will make it feel even more impersonal.
