Hi.

What is optional line exactly? I am trying to translate it to Czech but I
cannot figure out what optional line exactly is. It makes 4 vertexes
regardless on how many do I type in.

Is it used to make surfaces or something like that? Can anyone explain usage
of this feature to me?

I see Orion's already given you the spec, so I'll just throw in a
slightly different way of looking at it...

It might help to think of linetype 2 as "hard edges" and linetype 5 as
"soft edges".  The difference is that linetype 2 are always drawn, and
linetype 5 are only drawn if they are needed.
