Re: ISO 120T 5mm Pitch HTD Timing Belts (8.5mm width)

Reprap style belt splitter, maybe?

Parametric 3D Pinted Belt Splitter
Acrylic/Lexan laser cut or hand cut belt splitter
I was considering this as an option when it looked like we might need some 8.5mm belts in lengths not carried by Vex. I would assume you'd start with a 15mm belt and either split it 7.5/7.5 or 8.5/6.5 and get 2 or 1 belts out of it depending on your load requirements. There's downsides, of course. Namely, if you can't cut through the fiberglass tension member, your belt width is going to change slightly. And it's obviously not going to be quite as clean or reliable as a factory cut belt.
