I'd expect 5000 miles. That is, if the system is smart enough to realize that you qualified on miles. If it would put you down for qualification on segments, there would be no carry over. So I'd say that it should be 5K, but if it will work...not sure. No direct experience.

I think you mean ivory which does not have any miles roll-over right?

It is technically true that Ivory "does not have any miles roll-over" - for multiple reasons, but chiefly because it counts neither as a status level, nor is it a level that needs to be earned. (There is no mileage threshold for people to reach before being deemed Ivory. It's just the basic, raw state).
You only get rollover miles if you maintain your current status level, or reach a higher status level, and do this via the mechanism of level miles (rather than level flights/number of sectors).
If a Platinum (target:60,000 miles) ended the year with 45,000 miles, they would be awarded Gold as a soft-landing because of the fact that they didn't reach Platinum again. But a further consequence of failing to reach platinum is that they get no rollover. Even though they had fully "earned" that Gold - and exceeded the target - they are not eligible for any rollover because they are dropping in status. You have to at least stay on the same level, or go up a level, in order to be eligible for a roll-over - but you can of course maintain or go up a level via the mechanism of level flights, so for many people maintaining or increasing in status, there will be no miles rollover.
And level flights never roll over.
