Why does Tennyson most likely make the fifth stanza longer than the third stanza of "The Charge of the Light Brigade"?

The fifth stanza describes the soldiers’ return from the battle and the losses they suffered, emphasizing the aftermath of the fierce fighting in the fourth stanza. Its greater length gives more space to this consequence of the charge. The stanza is not simply part of a pattern in which every stanza grows longer.
