To further illustrate brilliant Jan's answer, here are the experimental crystallographic data for both structures; also notice that reduced form contains $\ce{[Co(CN)5O]}$ units tilted at about $45^\circ$ dihedral angle, whereas in oxidized form those are perfectly aligned:
Oxidized form $\ce{[(CN)5CoO2Co(CN)5]^6-}$, $d(\ce{O-O}) = \pu{1.447 Å}$, ICSD#6091 [1]:
$\color{#909090}{\Large\bullet}~\ce{C}$; $\color{#3050F8}{\Large\bullet}~\ce{N}$; $\color{#FF0D0D}{\Large\bullet}~\ce{O}$; $\color{#F090A0}{\Large\bullet}~\ce{Co}$.Reduced form $\ce{[(CN)5CoO2Co(CN)5]^5-}$, $d(\ce{O-O}) = \pu{1.243 Å}$, ICSD#4093 [2]:
$\color{#909090}{\Large\bullet}~\ce{C}$; $\color{#3050F8}{\Large\bullet}~\ce{N}$; $\color{#FF0D0D}{\Large\bullet}~\ce{O}$; $\color{#F090A0}{\Large\bullet}~\ce{Co}$.
