Narrative:

After landing on runway 5R at cle, we exited to the right onto taxiway right. As the captain began his turn to exit runway 5R, he called for flaps up and after landing check. While accomplishing the checklist items, I looked up to see us crossing a hold short line. I quickly looked left and right and saw no traffic moving on the runway we were about to cross but there were aircraft parked on the runway south of our crossing point. I voiced my concern about our taxi route to the captain and we determined that the runway we had crossed was runway 18/36 which was notamed closed on the ATIS. I called ground to notify we were clear of runway 5R, not mentioning runway 18/36, and they issued us taxi instructions to the gate. All of this occurred within about 12 seconds time. Having had the opportunity to review the cle airport diagram, I'm not even sure that there is physically enough space on taxiway right between runway 5R and runway 18/36 to exit runway 5R and keep the airplane between the protected areas for both runway 5R and runway 18/36. If it is not possible, then a pilot may exit runway 5R at the first available taxiway and have to choose between blocking the active runway or poking into the protected area for runway 18/36. In our case, ATC made no complaints.
