Taking a supposed 10mm lens with a 20mm front element, the f-stop would be f/2. If this adapter reduces the focal length, so now the 10mm lens is now 5mm (or whatever the value is), we get 20mm/5mm, or f/4.
You're a slightly off (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-number#Notation):
f-number is focal length / aperture diameter, but the f-number is expressed as f/X, where X is the previously calculated ratio.
So in your example, with focal length 10mm, and diameter 20mm, the f-number is 1/2, which would be expressed as f/0.5, not f/2.
Decreasing the focal length to 5mm then gives you f/0.25, not f/4.
