Are you sure?
It is possible, but the usual typographical (and programming) convention
is to have no space before a comma, and one space after it except at the
end of a line or before another comma, closing quote etc.
To do what you ask (untested)
:%s/\s*,\s*/ , /g
This ought to replace any comma preceded and followed by zero or more
spaces and tabs by space-comma-space. I think that consecutive commas
will get two intervening spaces instead of one though.
Best regards,
Tony.
