Possibly, but a CR gear set isn't much use when you want to do some green laning as well as tarmac work. If the upper three gear ratios are brought closer, you've created a gap elsewhere....or have to slip the clutch to get moving from rest.
I sold my 4 speed box a couple of weeks ago for the same amount that the 5 speed one cost me. Admittedly, I did have to spend another £50 to convert the 5 speed to right hand change to suit to layout of my bike.
My late brother had a little Honda 125 trail bike that had a ratio change lever on top of the gearbox, so it had high and low range gears - I think it had either 8 or 10 gears, a bit like a LandRover! Shame RE didn't do this.
Most of the above can be achieved with a close ratio conversion without spending (probably) more than a 350 is worth
