So: Is there a way to make spaces available in interwiki links, or is this not possible [yet]?
Unfortunately, all link targets are treated by the software as a "Title" object - so interwiki links have to obey the validity constraints and normalisation rules that an internal link would. So spaces become underscores, plusses kill the link completely, and percent-escapes are quietly unescaped. It might be possible to change this, but it could be awkward because it would require spotting an interwiki link before any other processing had been done on that link/target.
