No, as Chris Huff said, a sphere needs a vector for the center and a float
for the radius.  A warning is issued if no texture is given in either the
sphere itself or in a wrapping CSG structure.

So nothing like 5 components, see also the docs, section 6.5.1.9:

SPHERE:
    sphere
    {
        <Center>, Radius
        [OBJECT_MODIFIERS...]
    }
