Default Need help concatenating and formulas

I'm trying to concatenate 2 columns "project name" and "project number".
This is what I would like to do with the following given:
concatenate column width: 32
Project name: Microsoft
Project number: 121212
formula: = '=concatenate(A1," ",A2)
current output = Microsoft 121212 (17 characters)
attempting output = Microsoft 121212 (32 characters)
basically i want to add spaces between the two based on the width of the
column minus the number of characters of the current output (note that each
row will have a different number of characters.
In other terms, i want to push "microsoft" to the far left of the cell and
"121212" to the far right

Can this be done?

Thanks.
