"Quadruple" and "quintuple" are used for coronary bypasses. That might be the usage most familiar with lay people. I can't think of common uses for higher numbers.

No one mentioned "fourfold" and "fivefold". Is there something wrong with them?

No, but they would go with "twofold", "threefold" etc.

"Fourfold" would be rare compared to "quadruple."
