You just need to rejoin the splitted array:

split(' ', 5).join(' ');

You can easily achieve the result using split, slice and join and using regex /\s+/

const str = "Hello, this is a very big string that goes on for loooooooooong";

const result = str.split(/\s+/).slice(0, 5).join(" ");
console.log(result);

Using Array.prototype.join() which creates and returns a new string by concatenating all of the elements in an array.

const s = 'Hello, this is a very big string that goes on for loooooooooong';

const str = s.split(' ', 5).join(' ');

console.log(str);
