Does that mean better late than early? Or is that an idiomatic expression that means something else?

Yes, and "better late than never" makes sense. However, doesn't "better late than early" sound strange?
Yes Rikko, it sounds strange. The usual expression in Spanish is "Mejor tarde que nunca" Better late than never

Thank you, Benz. I sent you a PM regarding the source of this strange phrase, which is actually on this site. Also, is "mejor tarde que nunca" better than "mas vale que nunca"? - Rikko, MAR 16, 2010
"más vale que nunca" is not correct Rikko. The correct sentence is "más vale tarde que nunca". I answered your PM :) - Benz, MAR 16, 2010

Literally, that is what it means. I'm not sure if it is an idiomatic expression that means something else.
"Más vale que nunca" is the expression I've heard for "better late than never."
