So the minutes of 10:02,3,4,5,6 add up to 5 full minutes passed without a bid and the auction is over.

But that's no different then ending at 10 PM and saying 10 PM means bids including those with a 10:00 time stamp will be counted. No need for a 5 minute rule to address this concern.
And just to reiterate - this is an ambiguous issue and up to each seller to decide for themselves how they will handle it.
