Basically, do your replace as before, but instead of the first \\1,
replace with MARKHERE\\1MARKHERE. The text MARKHERE can be
anything, and the two can be different, as long as they don't match
anything in the search text and they are kept consistent in the
following searches.
Then repeat searching for MARKHERE(.+) (.+)MARKHERE and replacing
the space with _. Repeat until no matches are found.
Then remove the MARKHERE marks and you're done.
Enjoy,
