If you speak of putting other conditions after the "else", there is some reason we usually avoid that: it tends to leave the code messy (harder to read).

Condition if
 bla bla
  else
   Condition if
    blabla
     else
      Condition
       blabla and other stuff until you have to scroll to the right to see your code.
     end
  end
end

You should refrain from doing that if you must insert several conditions in the else segment. It's still usefull for cheching 1 or 2 things (like when you check the hero coordinates with 4 variables to see if he moved, because there isn't too many else)

A proper way is to use labels if need be (when you don't want the second condition to be met).
Example 1:

Condition if Hero member= Actor1
 blabla
end
Condition if Hero member = Actor2
 blabla
end

Since member 1 is a unique result (it can't be at the same time Actor 1 and Actor 2), there is no need to use labels/else here.

Example 2:

Condition if Actor1 is in the party
 blabla
 Jump to Label 1
end
Condition if Actor2 is in the party
 blabla
 Jump to Label 1
end
all your other conditions
Label 1

You can have Actor 1 and 2 in the team at the same time. If you don't want other conditions to be executed when the first one is met, the label works as an else in this case, keeping the code clean.

I hope it's what you were looking for.

I don't know if this helps, but instead of:

Conditional Branch: Guy has Neato Sword

   Stuff

End

Conditional Branch: Guy has Rad Axe

   Stuff

End

Conditional Branch: Guy has Cool Knife

   Stuff

End

You can do Conditional Branch: Script Call and do something like this

(CONDITION 1) || (CONDITION 2) || (CONDITION 3)

The "||" operand stands for "OR" and is basically a way of getting around RPG Maker's conditional branches not having boolean logic. So if you wanted to check if Actor 1 has any of Weapons 3, 4, or 5 equipped you can do something like this in one conditional instead of having 3 separate ones:

$game_actors[1].equips[0] == $data_weapons[3] || 

$game_actors[1].equips[0] == $data_weapons[4] || 

$game_actors[1].equips[0] == $data_weapons[5]

This may sound unconventional, but why not just have a black map with five sprites who look like the five characters on it? You choose a sprite and get that characters' weapon, and then warp back to where you were before? (This can be done by storing the player's location data via variables).

Then you could easily remove the sprites when a character gets their weapon, or put in a grey version of the sprite, or whatever?

Alternatives would probably involve scripting (since you are stuck to 4 choices in dialog choices) or Eventing a menu, like putting up pictures of the five heroes on screen, changing which one was highlighted with button inputs.
