Are you telling me that LyX has a way for inserting an arbitrary length

No, but LaTeX has. And I think it should be finally supported. It's base functionality in LaTeX. I have planned to implement a proper hspace solution (spaceinset + hfill + hdorfill + hrulefill + hspace in a dialog) myself. But looking at my agenda, I'm not unlucky at all if Helge beats me to it.
You are thinking about a dialog providing <length> of <something>
Where <length> can be 1cm, 4pt, big, med, small, or  fill,
and <something> can be space, dots, or rule?
This certainly seems more useful.  I'll have to read up on latex to
see if all the permutations are supported.  I haven't heard of a
"5cm dotfill" but believe it can be done by putting a sized parbox
around the dotfill.
