I use 7-8 seconds. Your 5 should be OK unless the auctions ends on an exact quarter hour. Then I would add 10-15 seconds to that.

Dutch auctions are very tricky. Since you will be away you won't have the chance, but I would check the bid history late (like 5 minutes) in the auction before deciding on a final price and/or quantity to bid for. A few cents and/or quantity of one can change the outcome quite a bit. Some on the forum (not me) might suggest an early bid can be better than a snipe for a dutch auction!

WELCOME to the forum, and good luck...
... let us know how it works out for you?
