Okra isn't a cucurbit (a member of the cucurbitaceae family, which includes such as squash, gourds, watermelons, muskmelons, cucumbers, Kiwano, and so forth). Okra is in the Malvaceae family, or the same family as mallow, cotton and cocoa.
You could try a 5 gallon container for one plant (which works for Clemson Spineless; I don't know if it'll work for Heavy Hitter), but you might be better off with a 10-30 gallon tote (they can be pretty inexpensive at Walmart).
