Would a NAM with 5 requests in it count as 1 or as 5?

The limitation of 5000 monitors per environment (mentioned here) is a separate limit. You can have up to 5000 NAM monitors regardless of their size or complexity, whether they have 1, 5, or 50 requests.
[This is not a hard limit, and it might be increased. In case of such a need, please contact the Dynatrace team you're working with and ask them to contact Product Management team to increase the limit]
Additionally, you should consider the total complexity of the monitors when planning resources to ensure proper private location capacity to handle the expected load. Then, each NAM monitor is limited to a specific size or complexity, defined as 1000 network activities per monitor (mentioned here).
Keep in mind that network activity is not quite the same as a request. Network activity refers to the interactions and data exchanges that occur over a network, taking into account that different network protocols may require multiple round trips to complete what NAM monitor perceives as a single request. This covers all the steps involved in sending and receiving data, ensuring that the full scope of network communication is considered beyond just individual requests. A single DNS or TCP request is counted as a single network activity. For ICMP, each sent packet is considered a single network activity - for example, a monitor with one step containing two requests sending five packets each, is performing ten network activities during each execution.
