A simple solution which keeps your interest in the outline structure at
this stage of the writing is to add the line

#+options: H:3

to the document (remembering to refresh org by typing C-c C-c on this
line).  This converts all 4th level headings and lower to lists on
export without you having to change the document content at all.

For your test document, this works just fine.

Once you have added enough text, you can change the 3 to 5 and your
document should export just fine.
