There is no general solution. For the problem at hand I would union two
generate_series(1,5) queries with a query_id column. Then I'd use
row_number() over (order by query_id, series_num) to compute the column
containing the values 1-10.

Alternatively, use the modulus operator (% 5) on 1-10 to generate the
second column.
