Hm, I don't think the inter-word gap can be customized ATM. However, inter-character spacing can be customized using Format -> Character -> Position -> Spacing. Setting that to a small enough (but positive) value seems to help here with a simple two-liner paragraph. If this is not enough, I would look into adding a new paragraph property to define additional inter-word spacing. The interesting part is to let the layout take care of that option, Cédric's https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/User:Cbosdo#From_paragraph_to_lines has quite some code pointers on where that code is.
