Could you just truncate each line at the end of the hex dump
before parsing? ie at the position I indicated. This might not
be the most flexible way to do it (eg if the address at the
left grows too big it may push everything to the right), but workable.

Even better, truncate it just before the ASCII dump, then you have
some room for growth in the fields to the left.
