.xtbl file lenght

I have heard about file entry limits, and understand that it's actually about the number of times certain parameters are used (like the <Homie> parameter in Homies.xtbl only being allowed 28 times). But I also noticed that some mods have .xtbl files that are all ...uhm.. linear for lack of a better word. What I mean is that they look like this: <homie><name>henk</name><display_name>HOMIES_HENK</dis....etc.
instead of this:
<homie>
<name>henk</name>
<display_name>HOMIES_HENK</display_name>
....etc.
</homie>

Now my question is, does this matter? Is there a limit on the actual number of lines used in a file? Or can I just convert the file to display the lines underneath each other and use that? That would make modifying them much easier.
 
I don't find that easier. I can't work with weapons in sr4 because of that, i found it hard to read.
 
It doesn't matter, the "linear" files are most of the time the genuine xml files, the "easier to read" ones have been formatted so as to make the line breaks visible
