Obviously overall progress may be slower that it could be but more recovery time and less chance of injury from frequent training. You can probably go as heavy as possible on the day with the longest rest inbetween. Try get a good workout each time cause missing one or two is going to have more of an impact.
My gut feeling is you should decide on either size or strength as a priority and design a routine with this in mind.
For size I would forget about 5x5 and stick to sets of 8-12 for everything. This will allow you to get far more volume into a limited amount of time.
Others are better placed to advise re. strength but I suspect step 1 would be to drop all the 'fluff' exercises.
Another option to consider would be to decide on one area where you particularly want to make progress and focus on that whilst just training to maintain in other areas.
I've have times when work commitments only allow 2 days a week.
Your going to struggle building muscle, still can though. All over routine will be best and big compound movements, last set to failure, and no smaller exercises as there is only so much time and energy you can put into one session
primarily looks and sports performance over brute strength. however I do like squatting and deadlifting heavy. but if that isint going to hit my goal of appearance etc high rep it is
