Well, you could start with

<xsl:value-of select="@FIGNBR"/>
<xsl:if test="string-length(@FIGNBR)=2">&#160;</xsl:if>

If one knew more about the possible values of @FIGNBR it could probably
be simplified further. For example, if the only other possible value is
3, you could write

<xsl:value-of select="substring(concat(@FIGNBR, '&#160'), 1, 3)"/>
