If your data looks something like this:
39.43 499 3999  12.334 44
12.4    9  -12  11.124 12

And you want to box it like this:
+-----+---+-----+------+---+
|39.43|499|3999 |12.334|44 |
+-----+---+-----+------+---+
|12.4 |9  |-12  |11.124|12 |
+-----+---+-----+------+---+

Then you should use Raul's suggestion (cutopen@>@cutopen).
The edited version of csv.ijs will interpret two consecutive spaces as a
missing value.

If your data looks like this:
39.43 499 3999 "Text with spaces"   44
12.4    9  -12 "can cause problems" 3.9

And you want it boxed like this:
+-----+---+----+------------------+----+
|39.43|499|3999|Text with spaces  |44  |
+-----+---+----+------------------+----+
|12.4 |9  |-12 |can cause problems|3.9 |
+-----+---+----+------------------+----+

Then none of the solutions so far will do what you want.
