will it depend on winning percentage or number of won matches?
I reckon percentage makes more sense....

3-men teams are already privileged in the current system, since every 4-men team would be stronger, if it drops its weakest member (generally valid for a n-member team in this system dropping the weakest member to become a team with n-1 members). Using winning percentage instead of won games would privilege teams with less members even further.

As there will be five groups, second place no longer means an automatic qualification.
The best three second-place finishers will qualify.
The same criteria for group tie-breakers will apply:
1. Points
2. Percentage
3. Playoff game

Why not 4 groups x 5 teams?
Then there isn't a problem with qualification ?
(Still yet: mixed-men teams is not good idea)

If we have four groups of five teams, we will need five match days in the group stage with each team having an off day.
No thanks!

I agree with plasmon on 3 players have a advantage ! But ok
.
I don't like finishing second and not advancing

Maybe a quick playoff among the 5 second teams for 3 spots. One player plays to speed it up ?

Just propose  
Still yet 3 days, without "off day"
I: 1-2, 3-4, 5-1
II: 1-3, 2-4, 5-2
III: 1-4, 2-3, 5-3, 5-4....
