I'm the same height and my 151s are just a little bit to small for me so yes 172s will be to big.

masterminds are a cheap-ish ski, so they'll react like cheap ski. they will break fast, just like the post above me says. but if you definitely want them, go for 167 lenght, 172 might be a bit overkill for you.

Im about 5,4 and right now I ride a 161 in the Ar7s perfectly fine but I could easily get a 166, but I wouldnt like anything bigger. And dont get masterminds.

Yeah, they'll be way too big. I'm also 5'4 and I wouldn't go bigger than my 157 skis. Hope this helped!
