In an old Arca catalog that I found, they offered a 5x7 -> 4x5 reducing back. Doesn't seem like this kind of piece made a return along with the 5x7 line? The only reducing back I see currently offered is 4x5 -> 6x9.
I know that using a reducing back in a 5x7 set has its limitations, but for me personally, it would be more appealing option than a 4x5 conversion kit.
The reduction plate for 5x7 to 4x5 and also the 8x10 to 4x5, did not return. The issue was that they were very heavy and prone to being unusable if dropped. The format kits were lighter and actually while a bit thicker, less bulky and easier to pack.
These format are kits available now.
Hope this helps.

I'm sure that those parts won't be cheap... but to the user, good value for money spent. "There is always room at the top."
