Cross-country glider flights in which you landed more than 50NM from
where you took off also count towards the single engine requirements.

Negative, JS. See 61.109(a)(5)(i):
"10 hours of solo flight time in a single-engine airplane, consisting
of at least--
[i] 5 hours of solo cross country time."
Your glider cross countries can count towards commercial or ATP, but
not private. Look to the requirements of each certificate and apply.
I do not know how any DPE could verify that the farmer's field you
landed in was at least 50 NM from your departure for commercial or
instrument. Good luck with that.
