Hi Jennifer,
try to search:
(\d\.\d{7})(\d{7})(\d{7})(\d{7})(\d{7})(\d{7})(\d{7})(\d{7})(\d{7,})
replace with:
$1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9

Unfortunately you cannot add the space into more than 9 groups of numbers, so you need to perform a second search and replace for the last group
search:
(\d{7})(\d{7})
replace:
$1 $2
