Reading the documentation, this should be 

#+ORGTBL: SEND sofar orgtbl-to-generic :lfmt "%s %s\n%s\n%s %s\n"

to have your expected formatting.

But it seem there is a bug in orgtbl that make this to fail. This very
simple patch seem to do the trick solve this.

Subject: [PATCH] Correctly format orgtbl line when there is a :lfmt argument.

orgtbl-apply-fmt need its arguments not in a line but as direct
