When I used RPE, i only incorporated it on compound movements. You're already doing that now with a sheiko style. So changing it to the RPE method wouldn't be a huge difference IMO.
What you did with squats does kind of fit into the rpe method. You did your work set @rpe 9 for 5 reps. Meaning, you knew 1 more rep would have been bad form, or you wouldn't have achieved it.
Then you did what I interpret as a repeat set, by doing the same weight again. Then a backdown set by dropping weight for more reps.
This is my interpretation of it, and one of a few ways i've experimented with it.
