I apologize. I didn't see that your input file has all those varying numbers of delimiters.
If you only want six remaining, it is not clear what to do with some of the lines, whether to retain the data or not. Here is the input:
Is this the output you want, or something different:

asa
ASA(1) BSD General Commands Manual ASA(1)NAME
asa -- interpret carriage-control characters
SYNOPSIS
asa [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
The asa utility reads files sequentially, mapping FORTRAN carriage-control characters to line-printer control sequences, and writes them to
the standard output.
The first character of each line is interpreted as a carriage-control character. The following characters are interpreted as follows:
<space> Output the rest of the line without change.
0 Output a <newline> character before printing the rest of the line.
1 Output a <formfeed> character before printing the rest of the line.
+ The trailing <newline> of the previous line is replaced by a <carriage-return> before printing the rest of the line.
Lines beginning with characters other than the above are treated as if they begin with <space>.
EXIT STATUS
The asa utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
EXAMPLES
To view a file containing the output of a FORTRAN program:
asa file
To format the output of a FORTRAN program and redirect it to a line-printer:
a.out | asa | lpr
SEE ALSO f77(1)STANDARDS
The asa utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').
