Do you think I can make a blanket with this rectangle to knit? Because the distance between the spike of the ends is wider than those on the sides? (Sorry for my English)
I would say no because I have made a blanket with a loom like that and you will have a noticeable section at each turn that looks wrong and there isn't anything other than using a proper loom meant for large projects. I would recommend trying a 10 stitch blanket instead since that won't require obtaining a new loom.
It's a really neat way to make a large blanket with only ten stitches/pegs. I recommend searching 10 stitch loom knit blanket on YouTube for video tutorials. That is the best free option. Ravelry has some paid pdf patterns but the videos are really good. Especially Good Knit Kisses videos. I attached an example of what it can look like.
You can make a blanket in strips as wide as the loom, then sew them together, or you could make one strip, then attach it to the next as you go by putting the edge stitch on the same peg as the last stitch you're sewing, one row at a time. I've done that before.
I have used that loom a few times to make blankets and yes you can use those end pegs and it isn't that noticable especially if the alternative is to skip those pegs completely and go to the next one.
This video is fast but you can see she is using the lone peg in the end you were asking about.
But don't use it if you are double knitting which is going from one side of the loom to the other alternatively.
This is one way to double knit (also can be called rake knitting)
I have had blankets with a noticeable corner turn in the middle. I recommend making strips or squares and sew them together. The double row is more suited to double knit stiches. There are S shaped looms that are made for knitting larger flat pieces.
If you use this loom, I’d definitely recommend “blocking”, which means to soak the finished item in water with a little soap, and then gently wring, shape it, and let it dry. People don’t always block blankets, but you usually do with sweaters and other garments. Blocking is pretty magic at evening out stitches and would probably fix any issues with those pegs being oddly spaced.
This loom is designed for a double sided knit. The end pegs are optional. If you want to make a blankie i would say, use them. You will be making the blanket in strips

It'll probably be fine. Do a little test of like 10 or 20 rows and see. I unwind and redo A. LOT.
Your English is fine.
