    this sounds like an XY problem ..... you want help with what you consider to be a solution to an unknown problem, when in fact, you should be asking for help with the original problem .......... why do you need to have only one space between the output fields?

Use



echo $(wc -wl < filename)


or



echo $(wc -wl filename)


depending on whether you want the filename included. The $() will parse the output of the wc command into words separated by one or more spaces (or tabs). The effect for your case is that multiple spaces will be replaced by a single space.
