I'd have the same situation come up more than once before, and I wasn't able get anyone to comply with the procedures in each occasion.

5 seconds for serves, that would make them 14 and under.
Doesn't that mean that their entitle to a second serve? Since dropping the ball to the floor is the same as a service toss error. The server should be waiting for the R1 to whistle for the second service. As far as substituting after the inital whistle for service, that shouldn't be allowed. The R2 should send the server back to complete the serve as long as the service order is in check. They should continue the game as normal. R1 will have to whistle for the second service, allowing the five second to execute the serve.

As for the time limit in between first and second serve, that's up to the R1 to judge if there was a game delay.
