For example, I have a PF where column 80 is a letter indicating the layout to use for that row. There's something like 15 different letters. Are you saying, create a LF splitting them up just to put them back together for the reads?

You can create a multi-format LF over the S/36 flat file. Then you could use the INFDS to identify which format got read.
