Can this be right, I read on blogs KE gives a five day hold for awards?
I can't speak from experience, but I've read from several sources that what the agent told you is true. KE will give you a hold until 2 days before departure regardless of how long that may be. Personally I wouldn't wait that long to redeem the award because KE also allows free changes and cancellations, so you have nothing to lose if you can't go on the selected date.
