Use SQL*Plus to format the output, and then spool the results to a flat file.
if the linesize is too wide, you can also write a PL/SQL procedure to read the data, format it and write it to a spooled flat file using dbms_output
if the number of characters output will be > 1M, you can write the PL/SQL program as above but use utl_file to write the output to a flat file
