If you are doing 5 runs per cycle, tapes 1-5 contain "a dumpcycle".
But so do tapes 2-6, and 3-7 etc.

This seems to answer a nagging question that I've had. I want to store
at least one "complete set" of tapes off-site as part of a disaster
recovery plan. With my runspercycle set to 5 (and 1 tape per run),
this seems to imply that any 5 consecutive tapes (without errors, of
course) constitute a "complete" set of backups. Is that correct?

Yes.
