g_hbond measures the number of H-bonds per timeframe.  What makes you think that 
the 10-ns trajectory should have more H-bonds than the 5-ns trajectory?  Maybe 
some H-bonds are formed, then broken.

g_hbond is only dependent upon individual frames; there are not fits or 
progressive information to be stored.  The input file (.tpr) is read in to get 
the atom types that g_hbond uses to determine H-bond donors and acceptors.

You haven't done anything wrong, you just may need to adjust your interpretation 
of the output :)
