I think in general, levels aren't used much any more.

It's become more common to use holder movieclips to control groups of
content. If you have to, you can even put holder MCs on different levels of
your timeline and load content into whichever MC you want. You can then also
do things like making each holder MC "_visible=false" as a way of hiding
groups of content if needed. Using holder MCs also at times makes it easier
to control preloading by using MC.getBytesLoaded, etc.

To answer your question directly, I'm not sure you can create new empty MCs
on a level that contains nothing.

Is there a way to createEmptyMovieClip on a level other than _level0?

I tried doing this:
var tmc = _level5.createEmptyMovieClip("foo", 10);
trace(tmc);  //gives me undefined

I also tried to load a blank .swf into _level5 and then creating a
movieclip on _level5 and that didn't work either.
