There are lots of methods of doing it.
With EXSLT you can use str:padding() function, in pure XSLT you can do 
just the following:

<!-- Make sure it's enough -->
<xsl:variable name="space" select="'                              '"/>

<xsl:value-of select="data"/>
<xsl:if test="string-length(data) &lt; 10">
   <xsl:value-of select="substring($space, 1, 10 - string-length(data))"/>
</xsl:if>
