There is no way to do this. Make will run targets in the order they
appear on the prerequisite line, as fast as possible. So, if 2-1-slow
is the first prerequisite to be considered, then it will be run first.
If it isn't, it won't be.

This is your only option.
Maybe you could run the build like this:
make -j5 2-1-slow all
either directly, or even through a recursive invocation; something like
adding this to the top of your makefile:
.PHONY: recurse
recurse:
$(MAKE) 2-1-slow all
That will force make to build the 2-1-slow target first. You don't need
to change "all" to avoid 2-1-slow; make is smart enough to handle the
same prerequisite being referenced by multiple targets and will only
build it once.
