Five or six clicks on the parking brake is normal, don't worry about it.
Adjustment is a matter of turning the nut on the end of the cable, under the parking brake handle. I don't remember if I had to pull the center console cover to access that, but if you look uner the handle? You'll see the threaded end of the cable, with a nut on it. Tighten that nut to take out slack.
I've just got one of the cheapo models with a parking brake. <G>
But Toyota did use a very thick cable for this, they don't stretch out much. If your rear brakes are worn, IIRC that can also put slack in the cable, so a quick peek at the brakes might also be in order.
