Did Moff Jerjerrod have a theme? did Tarkin have a theme? Did Belloq have a theme in Raiders?

Well, Belloq isn't really a good example considering he's from a totally different series with huge differences in themes and ideas.  Not every villain needs his own theme in every film series....but we're talking about Star Wars.

Moff Jerjerrod is.....a nobody.  He barely even counts as a sub-villain in a movie next to the Emperor and Vader.

Tarkin is the closest....but even he ultimately is just a sub-villain alongside the real central antagonist, Darth Vader....who didn't even get his theme until the next movie (though I'm totally not against inserting it into ANH's score).

Count Dooku seems like he's supposed to be the central antagonist in the movie, but he comes in so late and he's so underdeveloped that it's kind of hard for him to leave an impression.  Giving him a theme would help.

the closest thing would be the Mystery theme.... (and AOTC's score is not as bland in Williams intended version without loops or tracking.)

I'm sure you're right, which is why I mentioned it earlier.  The final product though...yikes......it needs an overhaul stat.
