I didn't test it, but something along the lines of:
select
owner_id,
array_agg(maplot),
array_agg(totalvalues)
from
(
select
owner_id,
trim(maplot) as maplot,
revallandvalue + revalbuildingvalues as totalvalues,
row_number() over (partition by owner_id) as n
from parcel
) q
group by owner_id, (n - 1)/5;
