Are ukulele strings unbreakable
I got a store ukulele A string up to D and it did not break. I think I could reach E5 since the scale length is similar to a full size violin. Do ukulele strings break?

Just curious, why would you do that to a store's ukulele? The next buyer will get dead strings.
The soprano ukulele string tension is pretty low and many ukulele strings are based off classical guitar strings, so they can take a lot more tension than their standard tuning requires. However, they are still strings and will break when enough tension is applied.

Here's a way keeping string 4 tuned re-entrant (4th string an octave higher) using the existing uke strings. Of course you could also buy a thicker string for #4 and tune it down an octave for the "G" in the same range as the mandolin.
