No, since consecutive text spanners are not aligned
vertically.


{
  c'1\tweak bound-details.left.text "aaa" \startTextSpan
  c'1\stopTextSpan\tweak bound-details.left.text "aaaa"\startTextSpan
  c'1\stopTextSpan
}


Maybe they should be for tempo indications? But then,
it's more a matter of adding dedicated grobs since
I don't think it would be desirable to do this for
all text spanners -- nothing prevents overlapping
text spanners, unlike, say, overlapping hairpins (in
the same voice, that is), so I don't think there is
a reason to make them continuous.

What is the context of your question?
