Joe Smith(1 white space)
Joel Smith(2 white space)
Joplin Smith(3 white space)
This is my sample data with spaces.

Steve Smith C S K
Rakesh Govindula Laddu
Chinna R C B
Use the below expression to get the words array without empty strings.
filter(split(column,' '),#item!='')
As there is no join function in dataflow expressions, to get the string of words with one space, use below expression from this SO Answer by @Jarred Jobe.
dropLeft(toString(reduce(filter(split(column,' '),#item!=''), '', #acc + ' ' + #item, #result)), 0)
