In that case I would use awk rather than sed to benefit from availability of printf() with appropriate formatting specifiers:

Code:
awk '{ printf("CODE,%-14s%-4s,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,\n",substr($0,5),substr($0,1,4)) }' input.csv > output.csv

For example %-14s means a left-justified 14 character field.
