If there are 5 building structures in the project, shall I perform separated energy simulation models for 5 individual structures, or 1 model as a whole?

For LEED purposes you could do either one. The LEED Minimum Program Requirements Supplemental Guidance document mentions that further guidance regarding multiple building projects will be developed later. I have not seen anything published yet.
For accuracy it may be better to model as one since any interactive effects between the buildings themselves would be taken into account.
