Does the song literally have to be about people with a ten year age gap? Maybe she just picked the number ten because it makes an easy rhyme?

Actually, Mick was born on June 24, 1942, and Stevie was born on May 26, 1948. Therefore, there is about a six year age gap there. When Stevie was ten, Mick was 16. Mick met Jenny Boyd in 1965, therefore Mick was 23 at the time, and that makes Stevie, 17, at the time. Therefore, "the only 10" comment isn't about Mick and Jenny and Stevie.
