This is so similar to the post you just sent to CCL that I'll duplicate 
my answer to that post here ;)

Why don't you just combine steps 1 and 2 into a single step? Modeller 
can build models using multiple templates, and will sort out the 
orientation for you. So your alignment would look something like:

AAAA/BBBB/CC-C/DDDD/EEEE (template 1)
----/----/EEEE/----/---- (template 2)
aaaa/bbbb/cccc/dddd/eeee (target sequence)

Here 'template 2' is just another copy of the first pentameric template, 
using only the E chain, to fill in the missing residues in the C chain.
