\dimexpr is only available with eTeX but here is a solution
which works also without eTeX.

\def\sectionnumberwidth{1.5em}
\def\pagenumberwidth   {1.5em}
\def\listfill          {\leaders\hbox to .5em{\hss.\hss}\hfill}

\def\tocentry#1#2#3%
   {\endgraf
    \noindent\hbox to \hsize
      {\vbox
         {\raggedright
          \hangindent\sectionnumberwidth
          \hangafter=1
          \leavevmode\hbox to \sectionnumberwidth{#1\hss}%
          %#2\nobreak\hskip.5em\listfill\hskip.5em\relax
          \strut#2\nobreak\hskip.5em\listfill\hskip.5em\relax
          \hbox to \pagenumberwidth{\hss#3}}}
    \endgraf}

\showframe

\tocentry{1}{text text}{5}

\tocentry{1.3}{text text text text text text text text text text text 
text text text text text}{34}
