Merge all figures into one plot

Using the following code:

f1 = figure;
plot(rand(10),rand(10),'-');

f2 = figure;
plot(rand(10),rand(10),'-');

f3 = figure;
plot(rand(10),rand(10),'-');

f4 = figure;
plot(rand(10),rand(10),'-');

f5 = figure;
plot(rand(10),rand(10),'-');

I want to know if there is any alternative to subplot in order to merge all of the five figures created above and then, increase the height of the combined plot reducing the space between figures (if I use a subplot, each one of the figures are too narrow).

It appears that you independently discovered the approach I would have suggested: Increase the height (size) of subplots

tiledlayout and nexttile is a good alternative to subplot and gives you a little more control over the spacing between plots. Its first release was 2019b, so the options have gotten a little bit more sophisticated since then, but it still had more alternatives than subplot. TileSpacing let's you control the space inside (between the axes) and Padding lets you control the space outside of the axes.

figure
t=tiledlayout(2,2,'TileSpacing','compact');
for i = 1:4
    nexttile;
end

figure
t=tiledlayout(2,2,'TileSpacing','loose');
for i = 1:4
    nexttile;
end

figure
t=tiledlayout(2,2,'TileSpacing','tight'); % or none? one of these options was added after 2019b, I forget which one
for i = 1:4
    nexttile;
end
