Sounds like new plinths are needed or you could try crafting round the situation by attaching some

of this to the underneath of the cabinets and painting accordingly to blend in with existing units or plinths etc, all depends how handy/crafty you are.

Yes, a filler strip could be applied to seal the top or the bottom of the plinth

The best way is to either replace the plinth, this can happen by pulling the plinth off if clipped on legs. Or buy new plinth and glue over the old plinth.

I can't imagine you mean 10cm between the bottom of the units and top of the plinths, so perhaps it's where a plinth meets an end panel? In which case it could be re-clipped and slid back into position. It would involve taking off the plinth adjacent to it, if it's the circumstances that I'm assuming.
