Yes it is. Toxic effects are said to be unlikely at less than 8000 mg but can be severe above 32000 mg (according to Wikipedia for a 80kg human). It would probably be fairly safe (in the scheme of overdoses) to take 5000mg ibuprofen every 6 hours for 24 hrs.

Depends on your size and weight, but if you take more than your doctor has recommended, or you take more than the packet advises, then there is a large chance that you will die. Also, do not take them with alcohol, as this can make your reaction worse. Make sure you are not allergic to any of the ingredients.
