Create a function that takes the string of words to replace, and the string to repeat until the length, then simply keep appending to a variable until the length is reached:

function replaceTextWithLength(textToReplace, replaceText) {
    var length = textToReplace.length;
    var text = "";
    while (text.length < length) {
        text += replaceText;
    }

    return text.substring(0, length);
}

var words = replaceTextWithLength("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed id dui tincidunt", "sample text ");
console.log(words);
