Any airport with a set of 4 parallel runways can do that kind of operation: LAX, DFW, ATL, DEN... those are the only ones I'm aware of off the top of my head that have 4 parallel in the US.
What a 5th runway that's built away from the current 4 allows an airport to do is to land or take-off 3 planes at once. If you have a 6th, then it's land and take-off. Currently, only DEN and DFW are capable of this operation, and pretty soon, ATL will join them.
