I am helping to design a facility that requires a few 32A, 5p, 400V receptacles. I've never heard of a 5p receptacle. How does one feed a 5p, 400V receptacle from a 400/220V system?

You either have 380/220 or 400/230 V, more probably the 400/230 V. If you have 230V then you will measure it from Phase (L1, active) to Null (N) or to PE (protective earth). 400V is measured between Phases L1-L2, L2-L3 or L1-L3. So you have 3 active phases, one Null (N) and one protective earth (PE), together 5 wires which will be connected to the 5p receptacle (in the right order, otherwise your machine will turn in the wrong direction...)
