What's your main concern with this issue? Simplicity? Performance? What are you going for? Worried that someone may lose their data half-way through, or something? You could do a sort of proxy where you store the user's data locally, then upload the entire thing on submit. Then, you're preserving their entry, if they accidentally leave the page, or something. I would say no way to double-clicking fields to edit... Perhaps breaking up the procedure into sub-panels, ala an Accordian or TabNavigator? I'm more worried with usability in these kinds of things.
