You might consider a function pad:
<xsl:function name="x:pad" as="xsd:string">
<xsl:param name="s" as="xsd:string"/>
<xsl:param name="l" as="xsd:integer"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="string-length($s) >= $l">
<xsl:sequence select="$s"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:sequence select="concat(x:pad($s, $l - 1),' ')"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:function>
which you can call like this
x:pad( $Field1, 11 )
You might want to truncate when the string length exceeds the 2nd operand.

I'm guessing those positions are of the concatenation of all fields.)
Presuming
1) you can tuck the desired variable length from Field1 into a
variable $F1len,
2) the other positions you want are from the concatenation of all 4
strings,
3) we are in the template that matches the parent of the four <FieldN>
elements, and
4) I understand what you're asking for (low probability),
then:
<xsl:template match="FieldsParent">
<xsl:variable name="F1len" select="6"/>
<xsl:variable name="all" select="concat( Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4
)"/>
<xsl:value-of select="concat(
substring( $all, 1, $F1len ),
' ',
substring( $all, 1, 11 ),
' ',
substring( $all, 12 ),
' ',
substring( $all, 1, 16 ),
' ',
substring( $all, 17, 10 ),
' ',
substring( $all, 1, 27 ),
Field4
)"/>
</xsl:template>
should be pretty close.
I'm betting I don't want to know why you want to do this.
I have following xml bellow and want to concat together as here:
Field1 [from position 1, length varies] + " " [until position 11] +
Field2 [from position 12] + " " [until position 16]+ Field3 [from
position 17, length always 10] + " " [until position 27] + Field4
Input
<Field1>2000090691</Field1>
<Field2>0010</Field2>
<Field3>2000090690</Field3>
<Field4>0010</Field14>
