Using the image below, I was able to understand the behavior of a spline curve for 4 points:
With this image I've manage to produce a 3rd degree equation and code it in javascript.
Now I'm trying to understand how to use more than 4 points.
I couldn't find an image showing a curve of 5 (or more) points. Does anyone know how to do it?

What you're looking for is the De Boor Algorithm. The following link (taken from this course website) gives a good explanation (with figures, examples and pseudo-code) of how it works. The following figure was taken from there.
This interactive demo can also give you an idea on what it looks like (note you're interested in the "Spline" demo not the "Bezier").
