You could temporarily change your prompt:

  export PS1="\n\n\n\n\n\n$PS1"
Or if the repeated prompt is part of your visual pattern matching:

  export PS1="$PS1\n$PS1\n$PS1\n$PS1"


Or

  # ~/.bashrc
  alias p5='printf "\n\n\n\n\n"'

  # run
  my-command; p5
May also add 100 '-'s before or after newlines for better separation.


Hmm... this looks like it works, to save in bashrc and activate it once:

  alias p6='export PS1="\n\n\n\n\n\n$PS1"'
  p6
  my-command
  my-command
