ok dude, lets look at how each line starts... are they Wxx Lxx (x=number)? are there any other ways each line could start

Code:
sed 's/\(W[0-9][0-9]\)/\n\1/g;s/\(L[0-9][0-9]\)/\n\1/g' filename | sed '/^[ \t]*$/d'

I guess, maybe, I could place a line terminator somewhere.

Hmmm ....

Taking a completely different approach

Code:
dd if=your_file of=your_newfile conv=unblock cbs=31
