My chime-in time: Several thoughts in no particular order:

Someone recently came out with a 5-gang plastic box. I found it online once, but not right now; dinner's waiting.

Nobody says all of the switches must be in the same box, or that the boxes have to be in the same place in the room.

If stud layout permits, you can mount two boxes next to each other in the same stud bay, or with a stud between them.
 
Have you checked out the heat unit's installation sheet. The last couple I put in called for an OEM switch that was rated to handle the unit. Three position toggle up was exhaust, middle was off, down was heat and blower, The light came on with any of the run modes.

Hi, when we do this instalation i make sure to seperate the ht light portion, I put it in a single gang box so that i can have a thermostat on it, i never like the idea of having an off/on switch for something like that... just our way of doing things though...

Then he would need a 5 gang box the way I understand his post. vanity light, shower light, and heat/vent/light. That in my opinion isn't the way to go in a bathroom. I think he's on the right track.

I often place the main light and the nightlight on separate wires, fed from the traveler terminals of a 3-way switch, so turning on one extinguishes the other.

I didn't see a night light mentioned either. I see the fan, light and heater in the ceiling, then a vanity light and a light in the shower.

Instead of going to a 5-gang box, then put two lights (such as the fan light and the vanity light) on one switch.
