Sorry for the delay, Mike. Had to do some research for you, but here goes!

In CA, the max. allowable overall length for your situation (hauler/fiver) is 65', no matter whether you are towing an additional toad or not (which is not specifically illegal to do, as long as you observe that 65' maximum) I can't imagine you can keep it under 65' unless you have a very short fiver!

The only way to be able to go beyond that (up to 75' overall) is if you are towing a set of double trailers in which each trailer is 28'-6" or less. (Sometimes we see hay-haulers doing this, for example.) The other restriction with this setup is that they are essentially confined to our interstate highways and the immediately adjacent areas (they can't roam all over @ 75')

Probably more info than you wanted, but there it is!

Happy New Year and Happy Motoring!
