PS : for this kind of geometry it is probably simpler to use extrusion

Point(1) = {-1,-1,0,0.2};
Point(2) = {1,-1,0,0.2};
Point(3) = {1,1,0,0.2};
Point(4) = {-1,1,0,0.2};
Line(1) = {1,2};
Line(2) = {2,3};
Line(3) = {3,4};
Line(4) = {4,1};
Line Loop(5) = {4,1,2,3};
Plane Surface(6) = {5};
Point(5) = {-5,-5,0,1};
Point(6) = {5,-5,0,1};
Point(7) = {5,5,0,1};
Point(8) = {-5,5,0,1};
Line(5) = {5,6};
Line(6) = {6,7};
Line(7) = {7,8};
Line(8) = {8,5};
Line(9) = {1,5};
Line(10) = {2,6};
Line(11) = {3,7};
Line(12) = {4,8};
Line Loop(13) = {1,10,-5,-9};
Plane Surface(14) = {13};
Line Loop(15) = {2,11,-6,-10};
Plane Surface(16) = {15};
Line Loop(17) = {3,12,-7,-11};
Plane Surface(18) = {17};
Line Loop(19) = {4,9,-8,-12};
Plane Surface(20) = {19};

Transfinite Line{1,2,3,4}=5;
Transfinite Line{5,6,7,8}=5;
Transfinite Line{9,10,11,12}=5 Using Progression 1.2;

Transfinite Surface{6}={1,2,3,4};
Transfinite Surface{14}={1,2,6,5};
Transfinite Surface{16}={2,3,7,6};
Transfinite Surface{18}={3,4,8,7};
Transfinite Surface{20}={4,1,5,8};

Recombine Surface{6,14:20:2};
Extrude {0, 0, 10} {
   Surface{20, 18, 16, 14, 6}; Layers{5}; Recombine;
}
