If you are sure that no line has more than 99 characters in it, you 
can do what you want in quicker ways:

on hundredwide thetext
   somespaces = ""
   repeat with a = 1 to 100
     put space after somespaces
   end repeat
   repeat with a = 1 to the number of lines in thetext
     thisline = space & line a of thetext & somespaces
     put char 1 to 100 of thisline into line a of thetext
   end repeat
   return thetext
end
