This game answered the question:

 

How do you get a 5-on-5 in OT?

 

Overtime periods start 4 on 4 even when both teams have players in the penalty box so when they both got out it became 5 on 5 until the next whistle where it went back to 4 on 4.

 

Well, no, not quite. The OT actually started as a 3-on-3. Then some dude on the Flyers got a penalty in OT, causing some, such as myself, to wonder if they'd go 3-on-2. But, alas, they went 4-on-3. Which caused some, such as myself, to wonder what would happen if play continued long enough for everyone to clear the box. Sure enough, we went gradually from 4-on-3, to 4-on-4, to 5-on-4, and finally, to 5-on-5. When the whistle finally blew it went back to 4's.

 

So, you're almost correct, but OTs apparently do not start as 4-on-4 when both teams have a man in the box. At least not if the penalties were assessed at different times.
