Re: walking 4 month old
I like to mix up a pups length of time on the ground. This keeps things fun and the dog won't start pacing itself. At this age it should be about fun and exploring.

I would not consider this too far. Just don't turn it into a forced march type of outing.

Re: walking 4 month old
I can't imagine any 4 month old GSP who wouldn't think a 5 mile walk was a thrill. ( I assume you are not dragging him at the end ; I assume this is not a cement sidewalk walk.)
