Having recently gone digging in the TLF code, it appears that the main classes you'll need to change are in BaseCompose.as and ComposeState.as. I haven't looked at your test case yet, but I think there is one place where it positions the lines horizontally. That will be an easy change unless the position affects flow to other lines.
