Use a transform like this:

(?<_KEY_1>[^=\s]+)=(?<_VAL_1>[^=]+)(?=$|\s+[^=\s]+=)

YOu probably need to setup custom field extractions for this, specially for the fields which have multiple words, similar to this

Also, if you've control over how the logging is done, then you could update your logger to log the field value within double quotes so that Splunk can automatically do the full field extraction.
