Is putting down all five extracurriculars a bad thing?

I know that it’s a bad idea to put down a laundry list of extracurriculars on your college apps but does this apply to the UC application? Since there’s only five spaces, I don’t see why it would be a problem to put down my five principal extracurriculars where I was heavily involved in. I can see why it would be a problem in the common app since there’s ten spaces and putting down ten clubs can be a problem but really, is five extracurriculars listed gonna be a problem?

Oh and one more thing. How many leadership positions is good for the UC app? Is four too much? Is three good?
