The manual explains that one can use double quotes when listing fields for
one's label layout to make two or more values concatenate onto a single line in
one's label. 

>From https://koha-community.org/manual//18.11/en/html/tools.html#layouts:
"You can also enclose a whitespace-separated list of fields to concatenate on
one line in double quotes, for example “099a 099b” or “itemcallnumber barcode”. 

Testing this on both 18.11 and 19.05, this works for MARC fields but not for
database fields.

To test:
- define a label layout with this field list: "100a 245s","enumchron
copynumber"
- find or create a record with values for all of those fields
- generate a label for that record
- the 100a and 245s successfully display on one line
- the enumchron and copynumber do not display at all
