Think you should read the book section about more then one form per page and about component. What you want to do is hide a second form in the same page... Those form should be embeded in the page as component en then you have to write the proper logic in ajax and jQuery to make appears your second form when the first set of field have been completed...
Also you can have a look at : http://dev.s-cubism.com/web2py_plugins Many fancy plugins for web2py that exist and make your life easier when you need it.
