10 1mm thick magnets stacked would have more total strength than 2 5mm magnets if each magnet is the same strength, yes. However all else being equal (same diameter, composition, etc) the 5mm thickness magnets would tend to be stronger than the 1mm thick magnets. In practice the two stacks would have similar strength if they were the same material and the same diameter.
