It would be best if you could get a flat file in a standard columnar format. However, if you are stuck with this one there are some possibilities. If there are always the same number of physical rows for each logical record you can use CONCATENATE in your control file, followed by the number of physical rows to convert to one logical record. If not, then you may be able to use CONTINUEIF in your control file, to check, for example, whether to CONTINUEIF NEXT (1:6) <> 'Module'. Another option might be to load the data into a staging table and parse it out from there. You can find information and examples of CONCATENATE and CONTINUEIF in the Oracle on-line documentation.

Please click on the link below for some java code by Tom Kyte that can be used to execute an operating system file from pl/sql.
