If you want to return the numbers as strings *and* you want the results to be captured as an Org-mode table, then you should use the ":results org" output type so that you have complete control over the table. For example,
#+begin_src sh :results output org :exports results cat <<EOF | 1.0000 | 22.000 | | 333.00 | 4444.0 | EOF #+end_src
