I reread the your specifications which I quoted and it makes more sense.
So I see why you had 2 and 2 and all.
This can still be best handled in one function; instead of blinking or switching between two states, you need to count up through five states, and at each step (when it is time turn off and on whatever colors.
Sry sry sry I didn't look closely before posting earlier. 
Is it white red white red all, five steps with some gaps where no LEDs are lit?
Perhaps you could draw a timing diagram. Here's one I just scribbled - I could sort thourhg your code and get the tminigs, but I am too lazy beforeI know what you want.
Just sprinkle some times on there and/or fix it if it isn't still correct. And make it a bit longer so it is obvious when it repeats, that is to say how long does the 5 (or however many) step dance take?
