I am looking to cancel lay bets that are't matched within 5 mins. Do I have to set up a second rule to 'cancel unmatched' bets or is it possible to trigger this in the same rule that places the lay bet? If I have to do it in a second rule, how long should I have the 'cancel unmatched' rule running for to ensure it definitely triggers. I currently have it set to run for 30 seconds, but this is wasting 30 seconds where I could be placing my adjusted second lay bet.

You could simply use a fill or kill setting of 300 seconds on the parameter tab of your lay bet rule. That would automatically cancel the bet after 5 minutes.
