So I need a 5uF >200V capacitor to replace one of those old wax film ones in some old gear, the problem is that that isn't a very common value/voltage for caps nowadays. Is there any easier alternative to finding one of these? Can I run some in series? Use 4.7?

Plenty of 5uf 200v+ capacitors in every type of chemistry.

A 450v rated axial electrolytic will cost you most of a dollar at justradiosdotcom. They have many types and configurations mostly geared toward higher voltage builds.
