Hi,
My rib pattern consists of 2 rows. If my pattern says rib for 5 rows, does that mean 10 rows in total?

Welcome!
No, rib for 5 rows means 5 rows total. If this it bottom ribbing on a hat or sweater, you can probably make it as many rows as you would like, assuming you have enough yarn.
What is the name of your pattern?
