As you've already suggested, create a common successor to the five activities ("SC"). Then, ALSO create a common predecessor to the five activities ("PC"). Now dissolve the five activities. What remains are:
- "SC," whose predecessors include "PC" and all the other predecessors of the dissolved activities.
- "PC," whose successors include "SC" and all the other successors of the dissolved activities.
Now remove the FS relationship from "PC" to "SC," and assign a new FS relationship in the opposite direction, from "SC" to "PC." Finally dissolve either "SC" or "PC." Makes no difference which one. The one that's left is your consolidated activity.
Good luck, tom

The PC / SC solution is very creative and worked well, thanks!
Regarding the fragnet option, there are too many of these cycles to make that time-effective. Thanks for the input thought!
