So the PHB says: “On your turn, you can enter a rage as a bonus action.” So from a RAW perspective I’d probably say no because to enter a rage you most likely cannot already be in a rage. That would be similar to trying to enter a house that you are already inside of if interpreted literally.

How much damage does a 5th level barbarian do?
Well as it goes a 5th level barbarian is only going to be adding +2 rage damage, conversely those extra 5 levels in Rogue would add +2d6 to sneak attack damage, for an average of +7 damage. The combo isn’t going to break anything as it wouldn’t be that difficult to gain sneak attack on most rounds (especially for a 20th lvl character).
