You are always replacing the character on which the cursor is.
Better would be probably something like this:
exe "normal! ve\<ESC>"
exe 'norm! a<span class="latin">'

Depending on your usecase, this might not be what you want (e.g. when you are
already at the last character of a word, e will move forward to the end of
the
next word.)

Then I would at least get the column for the starting <span tag>:
normal F<
let start_col=col('.')

limit the match to the column, where the <span started

exe ':s/\%'.start_col . 'v'.<span class="(.\{-})">/<span class="\1 " .
marker . l:diff . "/"

exe "normal! \<ESC>"

Disclaimer: I have neither checked your RE nor have I tested my examples.
so there might still be errors.
