Trilogy quadrilogy quintilogy What is the name for this indexing?

This does not appear to be recognised as a system but rather as an informal convention, and does not have an agreed name.
However, the word "trilogy" is derived from the Greek "trilogia", simply meaning 'three stories' ("ology" or "logos", translating as 'written work').
It is used in reference to works of three distinct parts. Higher numbers of distinct-but-related works may be named by combining the Greek number with "-logy". The proper labelling convention for a work of four distinct parts, therefore, is actually "tetralogy" ("tetra" means four) rather than "quadrilogy". The word 'quad' is Latin, not Greek.
Higher numbers are easily constructed:
5 = pentalogy
6 = hexalogy
7 = heptalogy
8 = octalogy
9 = ennealogy
10 = decalogy
11 = hendecalogy / undecalogy
12 = dodecalogy
13 = triskaidecalogy / tridecology
14 = tetrakaidecalogy / tetradecology
15 = pendedecalogy
16 = hexdecalogy
17 = heptdecalogy
18 = octdecalogy
19 = enneadecalogy
20 = icosalogy
...and so on. Of course, it would seem impractical to use this convention for such high numbers when a work of many parts would be more simply and easily referred to as a "series". However, being informal, there's no particular reason not to be utterly absurd:
100 = hecatology
1000 = chilialogy

How do you call a set of four books?
By analogy of the word "trilogy" for a series of 3 books, a single word for a series of 5 books would be a "pentalogy". This word is derived from the greek: 'penta' (meaning "five") and '-logy' (from "logia" - for which one meaning is "a collection of words").

Can an indexer modify the name filed by highlighting the existing name and typing a new name?
That depends on what type of indexing you are doing, what software you are using, and who you are working for. In some indexing programs, you definitely can write over the existing name and record what you see, and your indexing results get saved separately for someone to resolve. In other systems you cannot overwrite, but you can only approve or deny, or write something different in a separate exception field.
