   Sorry for the silly question, but can I combine
   

   <?php query_posts( 'post_type=blog');
    if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

   with
   query_posts('posts_per_page=5');
   and if yes, how?

   My trial-and-error method failed.

   The idea is to have a different number of posts per page than the setting under "reading".

   $loop = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'blog', 'posts_per_page' => 5 ) );
   while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();

   Thanks, but sorry again, that does not seem to be:
   

   <?php $loop = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'blog', 'posts_per_page' => 5 ) );
   while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>

   This results in a blank screen (I simply replaced the block I opened with, maybe you didn't mean that?

   Strange, it worked on my blog.

   Try this instead then:

   <?php
   $args = array(
   	'posts_per_page' => 5,
   	'post_type' => 'blog'
   );
   query_posts($args);
   if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
   ?>

   Here's the Codex page with the info: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/query_posts

   Jiha! The result is not pretty, but it (temporarily) patches a problem.
   Thanks a lot.
