Actually I suspect it was more a situation of "too much story to tell in too little time". I believe the same situation existed with Macross II.
OVAs never go beyond 5 episodes in Japan as all the studios and distributors believe that the market will not watch / buy an OVA series that is longer. That belief is based on traditional history of video sales. Whether it is real or imagined, it has yet to be challenged in the Japanese market.
