Something like:

<xsl:template match="Rx">
	<xsl:copy>
		<xsl:apply-templates select="@*" />
	</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="@rxNum[string-length() &lt; 10]">
	<xsl:attribute name="rxNum">
		<xsl:value-of  
select="substring(concat('0000000000',.),string-length()+1,10)"/>
	</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="@rxNum"><xsl:copy-of select="."/></xsl:template>
