%s/\<200\>\(\%(.\{-\}\<200\>\)\?\)/ \1/g
this again replaces 200 with three spaces; if there is another 200
following with some text between them (this text can not contain a third
200, because of the non-greedy match forced by "\{-\}") we keep this
200 together with the interspersed text.

Now I understand. When I read this for the first time, I wondered what's
so 'strange' about 200 -- I didn't think of 'odd' as the opposite of
'even'.
