I wondered this too when I was getting told "pack of 5" or "single bolt" against the same part number depending on where I was looking to get the bolts from. But in the end, I got 2 x single bolt using part number RYG501580, even though the same number can also indicate a pack of 5. I ended up getting them through the dealer.

The bolts have a captive washer of a diameter appropriate for the bush size and are pre-treated with a thread locker. They can be purchased individually from a LR dealer. Packs are probably for workshops although 5 is still a strange qty.

I bought 2 as I was going to change both the originals but decided not to disturb them. A single spare is really all that's needed and a normal grade 5 HT bolt, thread locker and a suitable washer would do the job at least to get out of trouble, if not permanently.
