After you drain off the first runnings, you'll still need to sparge so that makes up the difference. Most calculations will give you somewhere around 1.5x-2x as much sparge water as your initial mash, so you just draw off what you need to make your boil volume.

He was venturing into all-grain and asked how to get more than 5 gallons of wort in the boil kettle. He was doing a single infusion mash + mash-out calculation, and didn't look like he was accounting for sparge water.
