        (replace-regexp "\\(<span style='color:white'>[&#3169;]+\\)&#31169;\\( 
*</span>\\)" "\\1 \\2")

In N-1 steps convert the last occurrence of "&#31169;" in a series of 
"&#31169;" to SPACE and bear in mind that the next time your regexp would need 
to have a SPACE before the final </span>.

The Nth step would be:

        (replace-regexp "\\(<span style='color:white'>\\)&#31169;\\( 
*</span>\\)" "\\1 \\2")

to convert the last left "&#31169;" to a SPACE.
