Nonsense.

The non polar cap should have half of the capacity of each of the caps
it
replaces. So a pair of 10uF caps would be replaced by one 5uF non-polar.

For coupling caps it is often better to increase the value when size is
not
a problem. It would be rare indeed that an increase from 5uF to 10 uF
would
have any detrimental effect. The only difference should be a reduction of
the bass roll off frequency.
OTOH the voltage must be adequate and *may* need to be twice the
individual
rating of the original caps.
