It's cheesy, but you can a regular expression to do this:
b_qdn => qr/^.{5}$/, # must be exactly 5 characters.
I think it's because that this easy and works well enough that I haven't
tried harder for any other solution.
If you are interested in possible updates for better length support in
DFV, let's take the thread over to the DFV list.
