Just do this using your front end.  Also, values in RRDtool _are_
short term averages.  You're after the average of averages!
I'll use the phrase "moving average" for what you asked for.

5 times 5 is 25 , not 20.

In the front end:

A = B
B = C
C = D
D = E
E = current value from device
F = (A+B+C+D+E)/5

rrdtool update your.rrd N:E:F

To graph the current average, use E. To graph the moving average, graph F.
