to clarify, does it mean...(while in 5th gear) clutch, drop to neutral, let off the clutch? or does it mean pulling into neutral without clutching?

Yeah it was a little hard for me to interpret what he wrote about downshifting 5th -> 2nd too... it sounds as if he's talking about double clutching. So your answer would be the prior, clutch down, shift to neutral, clutch up, rev, clutch down, shift to 2nd, clutch up.
I was under the impression that since our cars have syncros we don't need to double clutch to downshift. Double clutching could save syncro wear, but I usually don't do it. I do rev match all the time though (espiecially when I'm doing heel-toe thru turns)....
