What you need to do is add some time between the beeps. "Delay" only
takes an integral number of seconds (gotta fix that), and one second is
too long, so you have to add a short do-nothing loop...
repeat 5 times
beep
repeat 50000 times
2 + 2
end repeat
end repeat

why not just use the delay command?
You could, but the smallest time "delay" can delay for is one second,
and that's a long time to wait between beeps. If you don't mind that,
then go ahead and use "delay". Me, I'm impatient.
