The template for p elements should be along the lines of

 <xsl:template match="p">
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:for-each-group select="node()" group-adjacent=". instance of element(span)">
                <xsl:choose>
                    <xsl:when test="current-grouping-key()">
                        <span>
                            <xsl:apply-templates select="current-group()/node()"/>
                        </span>
                    </xsl:when>
                    <xsl:otherwise>
                        <xsl:apply-templates select="current-group()"/>
                    </xsl:otherwise>
                </xsl:choose>
            </xsl:for-each-group>
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>
