Jumbo is needed.

Hopefully you actually know the 6th..10th positions a bit more specific 
than you wrote here, and then you might have a chance (i.e. replacing 
the ?1 in Patrick's example with as narrow mask per position as 
possible). If not, the keyspace with the mask Patrick wrote ends up as 
2*10^2*52*2*62^5 and assuming this is sha512crypt that would take 
(literally) a hundred years on a laptop.
