  $("[data-words]").attr("data-words", function(i, d){
    var $self  = $(this),
        $words = d.split("|"),
        tot    = $words.length,
        c      = 0; 

    // CREATE SPANS INSIDE SPAN
    for(var i=0; i<tot; i++) $self.append($('<span/>',{text:$words[i]}));

    // COLLECT WORDS AND HIDE
    $words = $self.find("span").hide();

    // ANIMATE AND LOOP
    (function loop(){
      $self.animate({ width: $words.eq( c ).width() });
      $words.stop().fadeOut().eq(c).fadeIn().delay(1000).show(0, loop);
      c = ++c % tot;
    }());

// dataWord(); // If you don't use external fonts use this on DOM ready; otherwise use:
$(window).on("load", dataWord);

  You ordered
  <span data-words="1|3|28"></span>
  <b>big</b>
  <span data-words="salad|macs|chips"></span>
</p>

When you set new word for your sentence, you can save #what width and then make an animation with this width too. Like this:

// declare as global variable and update when you set new word
var width = greeting.css('width'); 
// animation
greeting.animate({
            "opacity": "0", "width": width
        }, 1500, function(){
        });
