"5촌 당숙"
당숙 is what you call your father's cousin, or "a paternal first cousin once removed".
촌 indicates the degree of kinship.
Your parent is 2촌 , your uncle 3촌, and your cousin 4촌 (of these, only 삼촌 and 사촌 are common terms in daily life).
If I have a 당숙, he is 4촌 (cousin) to my father, and therefore 5촌 to me.
So "5촌 당숙" is a term referring to 당숙 with this 촌 detail.
