Does this work?

Code:

awk '{if(NR==2) print $1,"\nX",$2; else print}' filename > filename.new
mv filename.new filename

Run this through a loop on each file.

Note that I have assumed that the text in your files is just as you are showing it (exactly the same number and location of space characters to be specific). Even if it isn't you just need to change the awk a bit.
