Instead of the TR1, put ' ' in your format description, that is
[single quote] [tab] [single quote].
I just tried it in an interactive session and it works fine:

IDL> print, format="(4(f0,' '))", findgen(10)
0.000000 1.000000 2.000000 3.000000
4.000000 5.000000 6.000000 7.000000
8.000000 9.000000
IDL>

Hope this helps
Kevin
