I may misunderstand your meaning. Five gallons of dried rice is a gigantic amount of rice when cooked. Unused rice could spoil before its used up. Packing and storing one week's worth of dried rice might be more prudent.

Once rice sealed the rice is good indefinitely. Once open as long as you keep it dry and pest free it will be good for for well over a year if not longer.

You can get these granny lids that fit on the 5 gallon buckets so you can open a smaller lid and take out what you need and then seal it up again.
