means that the box has 5cm, but \stretched must use some horizontal size
(i.e \hsize)
to stretch the text. The twos are different lengths: it doesn't make much
sense to strecth the text "to the limit" to its natural width (yes, it
makes sense --- stretched is nil)
try
\ruledhbox to 5cm{\stretched{to the limit}}
\ruledhbox to 5cm{\hsize=5cm\stretched{to the limit}}
\ruledhbox to 5cm{\hsize=0cm\stretched{to the limit}}
\ruledhbox{\stretched{to the limit}}
\ruledhbox{\stretched[width=10cm]{to the limit}}
