I know the Pentax K-5 stops a single Motion-JPEG video clip at 4GB when using SDHC cards, which is often attributed to the FAT32 file-size limit. If I use an SDXC card formatted with exFAT, can the camera record a single clip larger than 4GB, or is the K-5 still limited to 4GB per file regardless of card type?

No it cannot. It will only write a 4 GB file using the Motion-JPEG codec.
There are a number of cameras which use the AVCHD format and they can often record longer clips because the simply split the video stream into separate files. The K-5 is not one of them.

No. The Pentax K-5 is still limited to 4GB per video file, even if you use an SDXC card.
According to the community answer, the K-5 records video using Motion-JPEG and will only write a single 4GB file. Unlike some cameras that use AVCHD and continue recording by splitting one long take into multiple 4GB files, the K-5 does not do that.
So while an SDXC card may offer more total storage capacity, it does not let the K-5 create a single video clip larger than 4GB.
