Hi baluchen,
You can achieve this by some small changes in your script .For the formatted output just use the printf .Check the count according to then move the line ( Here I check for the three elements in a line.

Code:
COUNT=1
for MYDIR in `ls /`
do
VOBS[${COUNT}]=${MYDIR}
printf "%-25s" "${COUNT}. ${MYDIR}"
let SPLIT=`expr ${COUNT} % 3`
if [ $SPLIT -eq 0 ]
then
        echo
fi
let COUNT=${COUNT}+1
done
