When I try

 #lang scribble/text
 blah blah blah
 @(define f "woo")
 @f @f @f

I get

 blah blah blah
 woo woo woo

because space after a definition is ignored. So, I'm not sure I
understand the example.

But

 #lang scribble/text
 blah blah blah
 @(define f "woo")
 @(void)
 @f @f @f

produces

 blah blah blah
 
 woo woo woo

If I really wanted that `@(void)', in place, then I could add a `@;',
which is a line comment that consumes a newline:

 #lang scribble/text
 blah blah blah
 @(define f "woo")
 @(void)@;
 @f @f @f

which produces

 blah blah blah
 woo woo woo
