No, reordering the HiLink lines will accomplish nothing.
What do you expect to happen? What do you see instead? What I'm
expecting to happen, is anything after column 180 in lines which are
bigger than 180 columns will be highlighted with either Todo
highlighting, or whatever has been defined explicitly for
fortranSerialNumber.
Some input to test would help immensely to figure out what's going
wrong. I don't know anything about Fortran, but know enough about Vim
to help.
This simple test works exactly as I expect (80 'a' characters with a
blue background, the rest with red):
syn match blah excludenl "^.\{81,}$"lc=80
hi blah guibg=red
syn match bleeb 'a\+' contains=blah
hi bleeb guibg=blue
Text: a single line containing 114 'a' characters.
This may help you debug on your own:
