I was trying to find an algorithm that's able to work out implicit valance.
So I was reading through the implicit valance and one of the bits I don't
get is how the implicit valance of something like the PCl5 would be covered
by the rules listed there, would you be able to explain that to me?

Sounds about right. It is used just for the first atom.
Note that this is a general implicit valence model. Really each of the
various file formats that support implicit valence has its own
implicit valence model which should instead be used. This hasn't been
implemented yet, except I think for SD
