Jimmy needs a new pair of shoes!

Question

Jimmy has had a busy last week with all these platforms and ropes, and poor Jimmy doesn't even have legs or feet to stand on!

---

Your job is to take a string containing multiple Jimmys and give them legs and shoes!

Get input in the form of a Jimmy String

Jimmy String => /o\ /o\ /o\

containing only /o\ and

give each Jimmy in the input a pair of feet that look like this:

 /o\
_/ \_

Turn the inputed floating head Jimmy string into Jimmy with feet string, like so:

// Input

       /o\   /o\          /o\

// Output

       /o\   /o\          /o\
      _/ \_ _/ \_        _/ \_

If 2 Jimmys are close together they must move over to make room, Jimmys will always move towards the right to make room for other Jimmys.

// Input

/o\/o\

// Output

 /o\  /o\
_/ \__/ \_

Other Jimmys that are further away must not be moved unless necessary

// Input

/o\/o\      /o\

// Output

 /o\  /o\   /o\
_/ \__/ \_ _/ \_

// Input

/o\/o\    /o\

// Output

 /o\  /o\  /o\
_/ \__/ \__/ \_

Standard rules and loopholes apply,

This is code-golf, so may the shortest answer win.

The "don't move Jimmy if not needed" rule was quite an ordeal to work around but I think it worked out quite well. Shorter than Python by quite a bit (at time of writing), at least.

-2 bytes from recursive.

r=/(\\ ?|^)(\S+) ?/
gsub(r){"#$1 #$2"}while~r

gsub(/ .o. ?/,'_/ \_')

Thanks to Value Ink for golfing off 3 bytes.

Charcoal, 28 bytes

Try it online! Link is to verbose version of code. Explanation:

Print a space to defeat Charcoal's automatic left margin.

Ｆ⌕Ａθ/«

Loop over all of the left arms.

Ｊ∧ι⊖ι¹

Jump to the desired left foot location. Note that Charcoal has no problem drawing at (-1, 1), but the question does not allow that, so we have to take care to avoid drawing at negative positions.

ＷＫＫ→

Move past any existing output.

Ｐ_/ \_Ｍ↗/o\

Output the feet and then move to output the Jimmy.

There was a bug in the 24 byte solution that caused some off-by-1 errors in some cases.
