Tobit was found in 5 fragments at 4Q.
4Q196
4Q197
4Q198
4Q199
4Q200
(PapTob a-e)

All of these are in Hebrew (or Aramaic, I didn't look closely).
4Q196 has several pieces, 14 lines
4Q197 has 16 lines and some fragments
4Q198 has fragments
4Q199 has fragments
4Q200 has 16 lines an fragments
(the line counts are approximate)

Hope this is helpful
