Short or long prefixes seem to be equaly unfavorable. Even with the full
length of the words, but queried as prefix I get a runtime of 25342ms
compared to 353ms without prefixes:

SELECT count(a)
FROM t1
WHERE a_tsvector @@ to_tsquery('aaaaa:* & bbbbb:* & ccccc:* & ddddd:*')

Total query runtime: 25342 ms

"Aggregate (cost=804.02..804.03 rows=1 width=36)"
" -> Bitmap Heap Scan on t1 (cost=800.00..804.02 rows=1 width=36)"
" Recheck Cond: (a_tsvector @@ to_tsquery('aaaaa:* & bbbbb:* &
ccccc:* & ddddd:*'::text))"
" -> Bitmap Index Scan on a_tsvector_idx (cost=0.00..800.00 rows=1
width=0)"
" Index Cond: (a_tsvector @@ to_tsquery('aaaaa:* & bbbbb:* &
ccccc:* & ddddd:*'::text))"

Kind Regards
