I have never used emmet, but I'd use Tim Pope's Surround plugin for
that. Move at the beginning of the text to be wrapped, then type

yst,ti>

Explanation:

ys = invoke "yank surround"
t, = till the next comma
t = wrap with a tag
i> = the <i> tag

If you also install the Repeat plugin, the action will be
dot-repeatable. So, typing W. repeatedly will wrap the subsequent
words. Of course, if you find yourself doing this often, you might
define a mapping for the sequence above.

Enjoy,
Life
