It depends on how the switch works. If it sweeps across connecting shorting more of the caps together or does it select each one separately? If in shorting the caps are going be smaller in value vs selecting as they are going to add up. The old Philco set were set up like that. Later on when the tone control got more advanced with tapped volume controls and such the switches had to pick off different points in the circuit to accommodate the bass boost.
All in all the value of the middle cap isn't particularly critical. I'd go w/the .005mfd as you mentioned.

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts

figure out what all those squiggly meant.
