I would question the "requirement" to place the data into one field.
I would think that something like this would make more sense:
<Parent Record>
Test_Type

Based on test type
1 or more child records containing the value(s) you need to store

ex:
Test_Type_1 (needs 3 result values)
Result1 : 5
Result2 : 3
Result3 : 12.3

To make this flexible for the user, you can create a Test Setting record (for 
each test type)
This would minimally contain:
Record ID
Test type - this is what you would use for a lookup 
Number of results required

the users can then create/change/delete (only if the test type was never used) 
the test definitions as their requirements change
