Yes.

The number of turns (and to to the extent that it affects capacitance, 
wire size and spacing) sets the resonant frequency. The Fair-Rite data 
is most likely for small diameter wire. If you want the choke to be 
effective where 5 turns puts it, yes, two chokes in series would be the 
way to get there. A choke wound with RG8/11 size coax would have the 
same inductance but more capacitance between windings if those windings 
are closely spaced, so the resonance would be a bit lower.

And, of course, more turns will lower the resonance even more, and 
because R also increases with N-squared, also raise the impedance.
