Two ideas
<pre>
      4.54
     34.4
       .456
  + 123.2
    -------
</pre>

You can use sprintf to properly format things.

Or

<table>
<tr><td align="right">4</td><td>.</td><td align="left">54</td></tr>
...

You can use perl to divide the number up and display it this way.

Let me know if you need full working code.
