[Lolita Palmer]

I would have done, and always do, the same thing you did. The solution to a slow foursome holding up play is not to add one more and make it a fivesome even if it's just for a hole. I really don't like being held up out there, but playing through isn't much fun either. The pressure is on to hit good shots and clear out. Sometimes I'll even pick up and just go regroup at the next tee if I flub a shot when playing through.
