Dear Tamer,
sorry for the late reply!

Usbrea gives the correct number of values/bins.
As you correctly wrote, in your test input you have 5 bins for each
dimension, which you set in the USRBIN card.
The first bin is between -2.5 cm and -1.5 cm,
the second bin is between -1.5 cm and -0.5 cm,
and so on...
That means, in 3D, 125 bins in total.
This is what is written by usbrea.f: the scored quantity within each
bin.

For internal reasons, during the export process through flair,
a DUMMY bin with zero dimension and content equal to the last "real" bin
is added at the end.
You can see this by comparing the values in the last column in the 5th and
6th lines in the following example:

-2.5000000000E+00 -2.5000000000E+00 1.71065E-05 2.61106E+01
-2.5000000000E+00 -1.5000000000E+00 1.03111E-04 1.61365E+01
-2.5000000000E+00 -5.0000000000E-01 1.76291E-04 8.96728E+00
-2.5000000000E+00 5.0000000000E-01 1.28494E-04 1.30532E+01
-2.5000000000E+00 1.5000000000E+00 2.17110E-05 1.90998E+01
-2.5000000000E+00 2.5000000000E+00 2.17110E-05 1.90998E+01

I hope this explains the observed differences between the files created
with usbrea and with the plotting function in flair.
In both cases the "real" number of bins is 5 for each direction,
in accordance with the USRBIN card.

Best regards
