I want to create a column spanning 5 columns with m column specifier. It seems my calculation multicolumn5hrulefill is wrong as the rule does not occupy the left space. What is the correct calculation?

documentclass[12pt]article
usepackage[a6paper,landscape,left=3mm,right=3mm,top=3mm,bottom=12mm]geometry
usepackagelongtable,array

tabcolsep=1mmrelax
arrayrulewidth=1ptrelax
renewcommand*arraystretch2.5
newlengthtemp
temp=dimexprdimexprtextwidth-7arrayrulewidth-12tabcolseprelax/6relax

begindocument
beginlongtable*6hline
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 \hline
LaTeX &multicolumn5hrulefill\hline
endlongtable
enddocument

For the table you're creating, no (human) calculations of any kind are required: Just (a) employ a tabularx environment instead of a tabular environment and (b) the c column type for the cell that spans multiple columns of type X.

documentclass[12pt]article
usepackage[a6paper,landscape,hmargin=3mm,top=3mm,bottom=12mm]geometry
usepackagetabularx
renewcommandtabularxcolumn[1]m#1 % use "m" rather than "p" raw column type

setlengthtabcolsep1mm % default value: 6pt=2.11mm
setlengtharrayrulewidth1pt % default value: 0.4pt
renewcommand*arraystretch2.5
