Season 5 was never going to be 26 episodes. It was a 13 episode season from the start. The only reason FF got 26 episodes is because they were rebranding the show with a new title/look.
I don't see why people think Season 5 was ever intended to be longer, they already had to have finished the scripts/episodes long before they started on FF. Nothing in PL's notes/posts ever gave the impression that Season 5 was ever going to be above 13 episodes, and "Nightmares Recycled" was the only ep they worked on that was axed entirely.
