awk '{if (!first){first=$5;}; last=$5;} END {print last-first}' myfile.txt

To sample only 200 first bases from all sequences in a multifasta file (e.g. from assembly scaffolds.fasta file here):

awk '/^>/{ seqlen=0; print; next; } seqlen < 200 { if (seqlen + length($0) > 200) $0 = substr($0, 1, 200-seqlen);\
 seqlen += length($0); print }' scaffolds.fasta > 200bp_scaffolds.fasta
