I read the Stronglifts page pretty thouroughly, and it says once one really stops progressing in the 5X5 it changes the sets/reps program and then it moves on to the Madcow program.
See the table of contents Number 3. "Plateaus" then scroll down to "deloads"
https://stronglifts.com/5x5/...
...if you read down a bit past the stuff you already know and have done, you'll see recommendations that say when you stop progressing on the 5X5, then do less sets, less reps (the numbers are all there) - and finally advises to switch to the Madcow program. It describes Madcow and provides a link to Madcow's page.
I love the Stronglifts 5X5 program. It's perfect for me - and the Stronglifts 5X5 webpage is really good!
BTW, I have this great demonstration of a Pendlay Row:
