mips type R, I and J, RS, RT and RD fields length
Is there any particular reason why RS, RT and RD fields have 5 bits?

MIPS has 32 integer registers and 32 floating point registers and hence 5 bits are needed to represent each set of 32 registers.
The register letters d, t, and s are placeholders for (register) numbers or register names.
