I'd say no.  The two variations I believe I've seen most are your first
and third format; "[reference], Section sec" and "Section sec of [reference]".

I think this could be the first time I see the "[reference, Section sec]"
form, and would suggest not supporting it - it's a bit of a bastard.  The
three first you do support seems good enough -- I assume that format 4 and
5 are for cases where you're mentioning multiple sections of a single
reference in your text, and don't want to boringly repeat the reference
every time.

Regards,
