If you cannot avoid the limitation of 1000 records per Ajax call, you can use the code below.

It uses $.when to execute callback when both Ajax calls were successful.

function LoadData()
{
   var call1 = $.ajax({
      url: "https://SP2010_siteaddress.com/site/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/Listname?$select=Data1,Data2,Data3,Data4,Data5",
      type: "GET",
      dataType: "json",
      headers: {
         Accept: "application/json;odata=verbose"
      }       
   });

   var call2 = $.ajax({
      url: "https://SP2010_siteaddress.com/site/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/Listname?$select=Data1,Data2,Data3,Data4,Data5&$skiptoken=2000",
      type: "GET",
      dataType: "json",
      headers: {
         Accept: "application/json;odata=verbose"
      }       
   });

   // When both Ajax requests were successful
   $.when(call1, call2).done(function(a1, a2){
      // a1 and a2 are arguments resolved for the call1 and call2 ajax requests, respectively.
      // Each argument is an array with the following structure: [ data, statusText, jqXHR ]

      // Merge data from two Ajax calls
      var data = a1[0].d.results.concat(a2[0].d.results);

      $('#example').dataTable({
         "aaData": data,
         "aoColumns": [
            { "mData": "Data1" },
            { "mData": "Data2" },
            { "mData": "Data3" },
            { "mData": "Data4" },
            { "mData": "Data5" }
         ]
      });
   });
}
