If you know the indeces of the items which belong together, you could
do for example:

l = [['Intervall-', 'Anzahl', 'Rufzeit', 'Rufzeit', 'Rufzeit',
      'Rufzeit', '>', 'Mittlere', 'Anzahl', 'Unzul\xe4ssiger',
      '\xdcberlauf', 'Zielanschlu\xdf', 'keine', 'Antwort', 'nicht',
      'aktiv', 'Ung \xfcltiger', 'REST', '(andere']]
indices = [5, 12, 14, 17]

for index in reversed(indices):
    l[0][index] = " ".join([l[0][index], l[0].pop(index + 1)])
