If you don't want a varying length header, then just print 2 lines, as in:

print 1 2 3
print 123456789012345678901234567890123...

Or am I missing something here?

If the file is greater than 80 characters it has to split the lines and
continue counting.

Aha, as in:

9 0 1
123456789012345678901234567890123...

the rest of the line

What happens at 100? An extra row with a one above all subsequent 10s
markers, or just a 1 above the 100 marker?

That would seem to be the case, but I don't know if the old script did
that.

I told you this was going to happen.
