  bin/clone_member -r user at example.com&nbsp user at example.com

You could also specify the '-l listname' to restrict the search/change
to a single list, but other than the additional processing to search
all lists, there is no problem not specifying a list.

See bin/clone_member --help

You could run a bunch of these commands in a shell script.

Possibly these addresses were originally copied from a list in an HTML
email and pasted into mass subscribe and that's how the &nbsp was
picked up.
