Yes, this is why i fighted 2 years ago to keep being able to simply 
copy/paste the whole
SCI\contrib + SCI\.atoms (+ SCIHOME\.atoms + SCIHOME\atoms, if any 
(wether you
were not the admin when installing modules) from the former to the new 
installation :
http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6784
It should work, despites the long way between 5.3.3 and 5.4.0 could 
prevent this working.
Please try and report your experience here.

For non ATOMS modules set yourself in the SCI\contrib directory, the 
Toolboxes menu
(Modules , en français) should work  as usual after the overall copy.
