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.I don't think such a thing exists. I was merely thinking about \hfill. But as you say, it's probably easy to define a customizable dotfill.
\makebox[5cm][s]{\dotfill}
This trick works for every kind of fill except blank space, where
I use hspace for the fixed lengths.
