How do I manually enter an employer's state id number that contains a space when manually entering a W2?

Box 15 of W2, my wife's W2 imported and the space was in the ID Number, mine needed to be entered manually and TurboTax won't let me enter the space.

The space is not important for IRS or e-file.  You can eliminate the space and just continue tying the numbers, it will allow you to proceed without an e-file error. Likewise the state will not stop the e-file or reject the return for this.
