It depends which hole you're playing. I think you have the handicap idea mixed up. When you give the strokes, you don't just take them off the top, you take them off the 5 hardest holes on the course. So if your playoff includes any of the 5 hardest holes, then you will get one stroke per each of those holes. If not, then you're playing straight up.

There is a game played called 'Criers and Whiners'. In this game, a golfer's handicap is converted into free strokes that may be used at any time, anywhere on the course.

What are the odds of a 18 handicap shooting 5 under par?
If you are talking gross score it is statistically impossible. Depending on course rating and slope a 18 handicap golfer probably averages around a 95. Keep in mind that the modern handicap system is based on your potential to score, not way you average score is. A golfer should only shoot his handicap one out of five rounds. According to Dean Knuth who created the course rating system someone who is a 18 handicap should only shoot 10 strokes better than their handicap 1 out of 37000 rounds. Each shot better goes up exponentially. For example nine strokes better is 1 in 3577 rounds. To shoot 23 strokes better would be greater than 1 in a billion rounds.
If you are playing a round and at the end of 18 holes you are tied due to your 5 stroke handicap - do you go to the first hole and give another 5 strokes or do you play square?
According to the USGA Handicap Manual, "Rule 33-6 empowers the committee in charge of the competition to determine how and when a halved match or a stroke play tie is decided. The decision should be published in advance." So there's no firm answer to your question. The USGA recommends that the handicap be assigned in proportion to the number of holes being played in the tie breaking playoff. In other words, if it was a 9 hole playoff you would get half of your five (three, they recommend round up 1/2 strokes). If it was a four hole playoff. you would get 5*4/18, which would be one. You should use your handicap allowance. The handicapping is used on the stroke index of the hole. If your first hole was stroke index 2 you would get a shot.
What is the meaning of handcap?
A handicap allows all golfers to play on a level playing field. It is an allowance of strokes per round. Say a player has an 18 handicap, and shoots 88 on a par 72 course, their net score is 70, so they are two strokes better than their handicap, and had a good day. It also allows two players of different abilities to play against each other. Say a scratch player (0) played an 18 handicapper, the scratch player would give the 18 handicapper a shot a hole. So if the 18 handicapper made a 5 his stroke reduces it to a 4.
