The two 5s are tied (that arch between them), so it increases the duration of the first 5 and you don't pluck the second one.

So I do play the one in between the two that are tied and just leave out that top five. So I will be playing 0&5 five times?

You are not really "leaving out" that second top 5. You are still holding the fret down to increase the duration of that note. You just aren't plucking the string again.

It's a very subtle difference that many people probably wouldn't even be able to hear, but technically, the first high 5 is being held for two counts instead of 1-1/2 (which is what you'd get if you just leave it out).

And, yes, you'll pluck the bottom 0&5 five times.

Sometimes it helps to think in terms of voices or parts. The notes on the E string (with the stems pointing upwards) are one voice/part. The notes on the G/C strings (with the stems pointing down) are another voice.
