I'm having the same issue with S5 and material station but I already have a newer firmware 5.5.12. Same phenomenon - several repeated extrusions of 25-30cm strings before and after every print. Can't really see any benefit of it just waste of material and time. I'm not aware of any feature to adjust or switch it off. For repetitive prints it would be nice to have an option not to unload & reload the filament from the material station.
