As far as I know, if your dad received the visitor visa, then he can only stay in US for less than 6 months. It has to be LESS THAN 6 months, can't be a day more than 6 months. However, he can travel back and forth from Nepal to USA at anytime during those 5 years of the VISA (as long as he continues to stay in US for less than 6 months).

Microbilology, as far as i know, you can request to extend visitor visa to 1 year. but , you have to have valid reason.

It is not always 6 months. It depends on how much time they stamp on your passport at port of entry. Some are given 90 days some 6 months. You can always file for an extension of stay before the expiration date. The 5 year visa is not for 5 years stay but the ability to enter the US for 5 years. The amount of time you can stay in the US is determined at port of entry each time you enter the US.
