I don't know about getting rid of the five -O's (have you tried it with
just one to see whether that does what you want?), but you could shorten
the command line a bit using
https://webdavserver.com/folder/file{AA,BB,CC,DD,EE}.txt
The shell quite happily expands braces as a portion of a filename:
sholden AT bigboy ~
$ echo https://server/path/file{AA,BB,CC,DD,EE}.txt
https://server/path/fileAA.txt https://server/path/fileBB.txt
https://server/path/fileCC.txt https://server/path/fileDD.txt
https://server/path/fileEE.txt
