Answer 1

In your case the file needs to be transposed (rows to columns), likely you'll need to transform the data using a pre-processing step outside SSIS.
I suspect another option could be to load the file as a whole using a Flat File Source that defines a single large column (typically a DT_STR set to its max size, if the file sure fits in completely) and then you can use a Conditional Split Transform. to
take each row (based on lengths if fixed) and write to another file this time in tabular format.
