Just to add a note that I could resolve this problem using zero width spaces-
I used the following xsl to add zero width space after each character-
<xsl:template name="zero_width_space_1">
<xsl:param name="data"/>
<xsl:param name="counter" select="0"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$counter < string-length($data)">
<xsl:value-of select='concat(substring($data,$counter,1),"​")'/>
<xsl:call-template name="zero_width_space_2">
<xsl:with-param name="data" select="$data"/>
<xsl:with-param name="counter" select="$counter+1"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="zero_width_space_2">
<xsl:param name="data"/>
<xsl:param name="counter"/>
<xsl:value-of select='concat(substring($data,$counter,1),"​")'/>
<xsl:call-template name="zero_width_space_1">
<xsl:with-param name="data" select="$data"/>
<xsl:with-param name="counter" select="$counter+1"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
and then placing a call to zero_width_space_1 like following-
<xsl:call-template name="zero_width_space_1">
<xsl:with-param name="data" select="span"/>
</xsl:call-template>
Now fop wraps the text to new line once it reaches the cell border.
Thanks for all your guidelines.
