I want to brew 2.5 gallons of mead, since 5 gallons is a lot more than what I would need. Is using a 5 gallon glass jar ok? Or could this have negative affects on the mead?

For a primary fermentation that's fine. The headspace is of no consequence and you certainly won't have to worry about a Mead Eruption Accident (MEA). After fermentation is complete, you'll want to transfer it to a container without all that airspace during aging.

I am doing this right now. I have 3 gallons fermenting in a corny keg, and it is great.
