You can use the split method for strings:

Code:

for a in $game_map.events.values
      next if a.list == nil
      for i in 0...a.list.size
        if a.list[i].code == 108 and a.list[i].parameters[0][0,9] == "Something"
        # something happens here
          substrings=a.list[i].parameters[0].split(' ')
          variable=substrings[1].to_i
        end
      end
    end

[0][0,9] will test the first 9 chars of the first parameter for a match with "Something",
split(' ') returns an array of substrings using the space as separator,
finally to_i is needed to convert the string, in your example "5", into a number,
then do what you want with that...

EDIT: mmm there's something wrong with that... FIXED
