<xsl:variable name="pad1" select="'       '"/>

<xsl:template match="child1">
 <xsl:value-of select="."/>
 <xsl:value-of select="substring($child1,string-length(.))"/>
</xsl:template>

and similarly the other children. (This doesn't do any error checking
for over-run, although that could be added.)
