What you are trying to accomplish is not clear to me.
If you're trying to change all occurrences of two or more adjacent spaces to a single space, try:
Code:
sed 's/ *//g'
If that isn't what you're trying to do, show us the desired output (using CODE tags) so we can see the difference between your input and what you're trying to get out of it.

concat
concat(1T) Tcl Built-In Commands concat(1T)__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________NAME
concat - Join lists together
SYNOPSIS
concat ?arg arg ...?
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
This command joins each of its arguments together with spaces after trimming leading and trailing white-space from each of them. If all
the arguments are lists, this has the same effect as concatenating them into a single list. It permits any number of arguments; if no args
are supplied, the result is an empty string.
EXAMPLES
Although concat will concatenate lists (so the command:
concat a b {c d e} {f {g h}}
will return "a b c d e f {g h}" as its result), it will also concatenate things that are not lists, and hence the command:
concat " a b {c " d " e} f"
will return "a b {c d e} f" as its result.
Note that the concatenation does not remove spaces from the middle of its arguments, so the command:
concat "a b c" { d e f }
will return "a b c d e f" (i.e. with three spaces between the a, the b and the c).
