Training legs on day 2 and 4 and then doing a full body workout on day 5 is very aggressive. I'd also split up legs/back and arms. Legs and back are two pretty big muscle groups, and your not to be able to hit them both at full capacity int the same day. I'd also treat biceps and triceps as different groups.
I also don't treat "abs" as a group, as they get rocked if you are doing compound workouts. You can do some accessory work on them after other workouts, but I wouldn't treat them as their own group.
When I was doing splits, I found something like this most effective:
Day 1: Triceps/Chest
Day 2: Legs/Biceps
Day 3: Shoulders/Back
Then just repeat these 3 days in a cycle. Don't put them on particular days, as you might for example, miss a Tuesday, which will throw off the proportion of each body part you are working.
