It works for me. Are you sure the characters in the gaps are all spaces
and there are no tabs in there?
Also, you can simplify your expression. You don't need to backslash
the characters in the replacement, and the [\ ] can be replaced with
a literal space:
:%s/] \+/] /g
If there are tabs in the line you can use \s instead of space in the
pattern:
:%s/]\s\+/] /g
