Is there any reason not to get a 4x8 sheet of mdf and cut 5" strips
and use those as a base mold?


I'd say the only drawback might be that you will have a joint every
8'. If you don't have many long walls and if your installation at
the joints is good, you will probably be the only one to notice the
joints.

If you buy the bulk preprimed and not finished moldings you can get the MDF
12' ers at Lowe's .


I think the OP was wanting just a round over on a 5" tall piece so was
asking about using 4x8 mdf sheet goods.
I agree if he wanted a pre-made mdf base, the longer 12' or even 14'
pieces would be the way to go.
