In terms of external modes, it'd be easiest for you to start with the
[List.External:KnownForce] example in the default john.conf, and
customize its init() function (and only it) in four(?) different ways
(according to the different possible lengths of the trailing special
characters portion).  You could then proceed to turn those into just one
external mode, but I think this is not necessary.

Also, please note that recent bleeding-jumbo supports "mask mode", where
you can define patterns like this on the command line.  You'd need to
invoke it four(?) times, for different possible lengths of the trailing
special characters portion, or even more if the total length should also
be changing.  For example:

$ ./john --mask='[A-Z0-9]?l?l?l?l?s' --stdout | head
Press 'q' or Ctrl-C to abort, almost any other key for status

Aaaaa!

$ ./john --mask='[A-Z0-9]?l?l?l?l?s?s' --stdout > /dev/null
