Here's a little something I posted awhile ago that is relevant and slightly updated:

lets say you have 5 key words/phrases (for ease of this reply we will call them k1, k2, k3, k4, k5)
- rank them in order of importance to building the theme: k1, k2, k3,k4, k5

Here's how I would set up the keyword metas:
page1 - k1 k2 k1 k3 k1 k4 k5 - focus k1
page2 - k1 k2 k3 k2 k4 k2 k5 - focus k2
page3 - k1 k3 k2 k3 k4 k3 k5 - focus k3
page4 - k1 k4 k2 k4 k3 k4 k5 - focus k4
and so on without using commas and keeping the repitition to 3 intsances of the focus word/phrase.

As for the title tag I would start it with the focus word and then the other words in order of focus for that page. Title tag would also be kept to 64 to 70 characters as well.

Description would once again start with focus word and include others as well. Focus word should show up twice. Keep to a couple sentences (200 characters).

Body of page is where it gets a little tougher. Focus word up to 8%-10% as close to the top of the page as possible without compromising writing style and flow. Distribute other words 2%-3% throughout the content as well. Number of words is not a real issue here. I've seen pages with 1500 words rank nicely. The only key here is to keep you keywords/phrases closer to the top to feed the spiders that may not read the whole thing.

Also, don't forget text links using keywords to the other pages of the site. In this case the link to the page focused on k3 would use k3 in the link text.
