SED with White Space

Dear Members,

Suppose i have a variable test which stores a string as below:

test='John drives+++++++++a+++++car'

now i want to use sed on the above variable and replace + with a white space, so that i get

echo $test should give me

'john drives a car'

Between "drives" and "a" i need 9 white spaces and between "a" and "car" i need 5 white spaces since i have 9 and 5 positive signs before.

How can i do this?

NAME
assetutil process asset catalog .car files SYNOPSIS
assetutil [-ViotshMgpT] inputfile DESCRIPTION
assetutil processes a .car file generated from a image catalog removing requested scale factors, device idioms, subtypes, performance and memory classes. When thinning scale, idiom, subtype, performance, memory, and graphicsclassfallbacks can be given multiple times, the result- ing file will contain all of the assets that match all of the parameters given. If scale, idiom, subtype and graphics class are given in one set, the same parameters must all be present in the subsequent set of parmeters. (IE the count must match) A list of flags and their descriptions: -V version information for assetutil -I Produce a JSON description of the asset catalog object with the given name to --output directory if given or to stdout if no output path given. If no name is provided, report on the contents of the entire car file. -i Keep all assets that have idiom that is given on the command line. -s Keep all assets that have scale factor that is given on the command line, present scale factors will not be removed if there is no fallback available. -p Keep all assets that have the display gamut that is given on the command line, present display gamuts will not be removed if there is no fall back avaliable. -M Keep all assets that have memory class that is given on the command line, present memory class will not be removed if there is no fallback available. -g Keep all assets that have graphics class that is given on the command line. The present graphics class will not be removed if there is no fallback available. -h process the hosted idioms list, this is a list of the idioms that must always be preserved in the car file. This list cannot contain universal, and the different idioms should be given in a comma separated list. -i Idiom to keep. Can be one of universal/phone/pad. -t Subtype to keep (integer) -c Main Assets.car file used to supply the names of the assets to the -I (--info) and the dump options -d (--dump) and -D (--dump- stack). -o Output file name, if no output file is given then input file is overwritten. -T compare thinning attributes 'scale=2:idiom=phone:memory=2:graphicsclass=MTL1,2/scale=2:idiom=phone:memory=1:graphicsclass=MTL2,2' will print to stdout if the files was thinned with the above thinning attributes, would the same Asset file result in both cases.
