Cubes which are Sum of Five Cubes

Theorem

The following cube numbers can be expressed as the sum of $5$ positive cube numbers:

$9^3, \ldots$


This article is complete as far as it goes, but it could do with expansion.
In particular: More terms needed. It seems that:
$4$ and all numbers $> 8$ can be so expressed
only $4, 8, 10, 11, 13$ require repeated cubes

Proof

\(\ds 9^3\) \(=\) \(\ds 729\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds 1 + 27 + 64 + 125 + 512\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds 1^3 + 3^3 + 4^3 + 5^3 + 8^3\)


This article is complete as far as it goes, but it could do with expansion.
In particular: Add the proof based on $9^3 = 1^3 + 6^3 + 8^3$ and $6^3 = 3^3 + 4^3 + 5^3$ from Cubes which are Sum of Three Cubes
