"Span" is not a metric unit. There was an ancient unit of half a cubit called a span which, because the lengths of cubits varied, could be anywhere from 20 - 30 centimeters. There is also a common builders' practice of spanning studs 16 inches apart. There are 2.54 centimeters to the inch, so this is about 40.64 cm.
