OMG I took my exam yesterday and the exam was longgggg. I really wish I had had more times to go over my answers because I am now finding that made a lot of silly mistakes on things I knew. Plus I marked between 3-15 per block with the exception of one block where it felt like I marked almost every question. Am I doomed? 🙁.

Nah. I think you'll be fine. I had decent scores on practice exams and I had a similar experience (though never a block where I thought I marked everything 😉 ).

I thought the exam was really long (I remember basically reaching a point where I almost became incapable of even reading questions with any sense of comprehension during the last 20 questions of Block 9).

I felt similarly bad on Step 1, and yes, ended up getting within 3 points of my last practice exam. If you took NBME practice exams, your score will probably correlate.

How many blocks will there be? Nine?

Including the tutorial, yes, 9. There are 8 blocks of 42-46 questions each.
