As i understand the problem, ahmad.diab's solution is incorrect but it did make me realize that i was over-engineering. A simpler approach inspired by his post (the only advantage of the modulus-based solution above is that it can readily handle MxN, and not just 4xN, if the hardcoded 4 is parameterized).
The following gives the same output given the same sample data files (data3 and data4) used above.

the number of columns is 4*N not only "N" as in alister code above and as f_o_555 mention in his post below.
