4-5", that's tiny! We have Leylandii with 12" or more diameter
trunks down either side of our drive (we are cutting them down
slowly).


Can you saw Leylandii up and use it as pine?


Probably; cypress wood is sometimes used, though of course it isn't
pine, and I've no idea of its characteristics. But you'd need a tall
trunk a lot thicker than 12" at the base to get any usable timber.
