I read somewhere that MD5'ing anything more than once, does not
increase security.

Not in this case, as it doesn't goes about decrypting the key here,
that's impossible with MD5, you can only bruteforce. But that's
totally not of interest, a cracker doesn't want to implement a MD5
bruteforcer in his bot that brute forces the MD5 key each time (which
can take up to several years to complete on regular PCs).
