You can use postaction along with dash pattern for this.
documentclass[tikz]standalone
begindocument
begintikzpicture
draw[->,postaction=-,draw=green,dash pattern=on 0pt off 5cm on 2cm off 2cm] (0,0) -- (25:8cm) ;
endtikzpicture
enddocument
EDIT: A somewhat cleaner version (because no line gets overdrawn, which makes a difference if the opacity is nontrivial) which is cast into a style.
documentclass[tikz,border=3.14mm]standalone
begindocument
begintikzpicture[replace stretch/.style args=from #1 to #2 by #3%
/utils/exec=pgfmathsetmacroofflen#2-#1,
dash pattern=on #1 off offlen pt on 10cm,
postaction=#3,dash pattern=on 0pt off #1 on offlen pt off 10cm]
draw[->,replace stretch=from 5cm to 7cm by -,draw=green] (0,0) -- ++(25:8cm);
draw[->,replace stretch=from 5cm to 7cm by -,draw=white] (0,1) -- ++(25:8cm) ;

@Nip I confirm that (with some viewers) you can see relics of the black line if you usewhite. Do they disappear on you viewer if you dodraw[->,postaction=-,draw=white,line width=0.42pt,dash pattern=on 0pt off 5cm on 2cm off 2cm] (0,0) -- (25:8cm) ;instead? BTW, if you just want a white gap, you could just dodraw[->,dash pattern=on 5cm off 2cm on 2cm] (0,0) -- (25:8cm) ;.
