Oh bugger! I was sure I'd done this but I see the example I had in mind is actually a sub-file without SFLLIN. Documentation says:

"The SFLLIN keyword is not allowed in a record that contains the SFLCSRPRG."

which is not what they mean because SFLLIN is specified on the SFLCTL record and SFLCSRPRG is specified on the SFL record thus the keywords are not in the same record and (if reading the documentation literally) should be allowed.

I take issue with your comment that SFLLIN writes separate record formats. The code writes to the same record format just as it does without SFLLIN. It's WSFM that maps the records into multiple columns (i.e. multiple columns of records).

I would not use SFLLIN here. Instead I would use the SFLSIZ > SFLPAG, and
protect and non-display the empty fields. Messy programming, but it
achieves the result.

Not sure how that would make the cursor move down an input column instead of across.

Given the above information I'd probably use DSM to accomplish this. Worth experimenting ...
