If you use the following sed command, replacing each occurrence of <space> with a single space character and replacing <tab> with a single tab character:
it will replace all sequences of zero or more spaces followed by a tab character followed by zero of more spaces and tabs in the file named input_file to exactly five space characters in the output file named new_file.
If someone else wants to try this on a Solaris/SunOS system, change sed to /usr/xpg4/bin/sed.

MAKEDBM(8) NIS Reference Manual MAKEDBM(8)NAME
makedbm - create or dump a ypserv database file
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/yp/makedbm [-a | -r] [-b] [-c] [-s] [-l] [-i YP_INPUT_NAME] [-o YP_OUTPUT_NAME] [-m YP_MASTER_NAME] inputfile dbname
/usr/lib/yp/makedbm -u dbname
/usr/lib/yp/makedbm -c
/usr/lib/yp/makedbm --version
DESCRIPTION
makedbm takes the inputfile and converts it to a ypserv database file. In the moment, GDBM is used as database. Each line of the input file
is converted to a single record. All characters up to the first TAB or SPACE are the key, and the rest of the line is the data. makedbm
does not treat `#' as a special character.
OPTIONS -a
Special support for mail aliases. We couldn't use sendmail for it, since sendmail uses db, but ypserv gdbm as database format.
-b
Insert the YP_INTERDOMAIN into the output. This key causes ypserv(8) to use DNS for host name and address lookups for hosts not found
in the maps.
-c
send a YPPROC_CLEAR to the local ypserv(8). This causes ypserv to invalidate all cached entries.
-l
Convert the keys of the given map to lower case.
-i YP_INPUT_NAME
Create a special entry with the key YP_INPUT_NAME.
-m YP_MASTER_NAME
Create a special entry with the key YP_MASTER_NAME. If no master host name is specified, YP_MASTER_NAME will be set to the local host
name.
-o YP_OUTPUT_NAME
Create a special entry with the key YP_OUTPUT_NAME.
-r
Handle `#' as comment sign and remove the comment.
-s
Secure map. Accept connections from secure NIS networks only (reserved ports).
-u dbname
Dump a ypserv database file. Prints out the file in text format, one entry per line, with a single space separating keys from values.
--no-limit-check
Don't check for NIS key and data limit.
