"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.

What is the meaning of nonstandard units of measurement?
A non-standard unit of measurement is a way of reporting measurements in terms of units whose value only a few people may know. Many of the early, non-standard units of measurement, which were based on the human body, were like that. Everybody does not have the same span so saying that a table is 12 spans long is not particularly helpful. Some of these were ;ater standardised: palm = 3 inches, hand = 4 inches (10.16 cm) and so on.
In What decade was the measurement span used?
Span is referenced in the Bible as a unit of measure for the height of the giant Philistine, Goliath of Gath, in 1 Samuel 17. He was reportedly 6 cubits and a span in height. That would have made him one tall customer indeed, as a cubit is held to be equal to 45.72 centimeters and a span is approximately 22.3 centimeters, or the distance across a man's outstretched hand. This would have made Goliath 296.62 centimeters, or 2.9662 meters, or, for you American readers, that's about 9 feet, 8 1/2 inches tall. As to the decade in which span was used as a unit of measurement, I would have to guess that it most likely predates the incident between David and Goliath. So sometime around 2000 years ago, give or take 1500 years. Of course humans have been measuring things since before Christ was born so I imagine the span may have enjoyed a long, long lifespan on the Unit of Measurement circuit. In that case, there were many, many decades that make up the correct answer to this question and I don't see the point in conjecturing precisely what all of those decades may have been.

How many cm is 1 arm span?
Arm span or reach (also known as wingspan) is the physical measurement of the length from one end of an individual's arms (measured at the fingertips) to the other when raised parallel to the ground at shoulder height at a one-hundred eighty degree angle. The average reach correlates to the person's height. So, it is impossible to say how many centimeters is YOUR arm span or MY arm span without measuring it first. For example, my arm span is 183cm.
