There's a ^M (<carriage return>) too many that could be removed like
Code:
awk  '{while (length < 1330 && getline s>0) {sub (/\r/, ""); $0=$0 " " s}}1'  /tmp/Sample\ input\ file.txt

yielding exactly your desired output.
Please be aware that your sample input file's last line is missing the terminal ^M that all the other lines have.

There's no ^M chars at EOL any more in the input file, and I don't think the two files in post#16 are correlated. Lines in the output are 2660 chars long...?


EDIT: Got it - due to the missing ^M lines are only 1329 chars. Use that value for comparison and you should come close.
