Sure. Race cars can be serviced in less than 15 seconds during pit
stops, 
and there's no real reason why space fighters couldn't be rearmed about
as 
quickly - which leaves 4+ minutes for docking and re-launching out of
those 
300 seconds. Whether or not that's realistic depends entirely on your 
assumptions about docking tractors, launch catapults etc.
