No, and even if there was, you'd have an issue with printing it. The client is using spreadsheet thinking so you have to be smarter and come up with new ways to display the data and allow them to enter/edit it. The input screens do NOT need to mimic the printed form, which is pretty horrible. That's just the way clients think. If you present them with a tab control with a single tab for each input section, you can drop a continuous subform on each tab and handle as many samples as they need. Input should be consistent across the tabs. Horizontal and vertical distinctions are for printing. Data entry requires easy to read and enter/edit, so it will always be stacked vertically.
