It may not be impossible. I know as an example that you can bolt in the 6-speed box from a W-series GSX-R750 into a W-series GSXR1100 motor to replace the 11's 5-speed box, so this sort of thing can sometimes be done. The 6 speed box has slimmer gears (but is still strong enough) - there's only so much space in there.
Looking at the small difference between top gear ratios for the 4 and 5-speed Savage, and given the nature of the motor delivering low end / mid range rather than high power, I think in most situations a 4 speed might just be a more relaxing ride with less gear changes.
