Well as usual I don't answer more than the question requires.  :-)  I guess
I implicitly rely on others to go into more depth, but I may change this

This rule is really no longer accurate.  To truly find out if your network
is within spec, you need to figure the round trip bit delay per segment and
device.

the 5-4-3 rule is about like the 80/20 rule great for the old days but not
for today.

There is a basic rule of thumb to follow with 10 Mbps Ethernet networks. It
is commonly known as the 5-4-3 rule and represents the following Ethernet
limitations :

 5 4 3 
Maximum 5 Segments 4 Repeaters 3 Populated Segments
