Not easily with FO builtins. You'll have to use a table,
and you'll have to calculate the table column the text
will go into, and probably column spans for the cells.
It's doable but very messy in XSLT, especially if
proportional fonts are used and even more if (gasp) fonts
are mixed. Your XML is optimized for data entry, not for
processing. That's your problem.
I've seen similar stuff before, and in each case the
problems were caused sloppy analysis of what the users
really needed. Check whether the presentation modifications
are really all necessary in the form declared, and whether
a GUI tool can be used for data entry which produces XML
more amenable to further processing.
