You are right, there were typos in my example. Sorry for that. Here is
something updated, together with an image.
~~~~
\paper {
indent = 0\cm
ragged-right = ##f
line-width = 16\cm
}
\relative c' {
\override TextSpanner.dash-fraction = #0.1
\override TextSpanner.dash-period = #8
\override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.padding = #1
\override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = "foo"
e1\startTextSpan |
\override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = "bar"
e8\stopTextSpan\startTextSpan e e e e e e e |
\override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = "baz"
\override TextSpanner.bound-details.right.text = "umpf"
e4\stopTextSpan\startTextSpan e e e |
e1\stopTextSpan
}
~~~~
I would like to enter this as something like
~~~~
\relative c' {
\override TextSpanner.dash-fraction = #0.1 % fixed
\override TextSpanner.dash-period = #8 % a hint for LilyPond
\override TextSpanner.text = #'("foo" "bar" "baz" "umpf")
e1\startTextSpan |
e8 e e e e e e e |
e4 e e e |
e1\stopTextSpan
}
~~~~
and let LilyPond find out a good value for `dash-period` (based on the
suggested value) that looks nice for all sub-spanners.

\version "2.21.0"
\header { texidoc = "
For a text spanner, the length of the (left) text element
must not influence the distance between and the length of
dashes.
Here is a counterexample.
" }
\relative c' {
\override TextSpanner.dash-period = #8
\override TextSpanner.dash-fraction= #0.1
\override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = "im"
e1\startTextSpan e1 e1\stopTextSpan
\override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = "immer"
e1\startTextSpan e1 e1\stopTextSpan
