I'm not aware of a concept known as the "phoneme tent", but if you are asking which phonemes (distinct sound units) constitute the word 'tent', then the answer would be 4 -- the consonant 't', the vowel 'e' and the constonants 'n' and 't'. In this case, as with many others, the number of letters in the word happens to match the number of phonemes, but in reality spelling does not in any way determine the number of phonemes, because certain phonemes, for instance, consist of two letters, such as 'sh' or 'th', when in fact they both represent only one phoneme between the two of them.
