> multi column format that saves page length

No matter what you do, 50+ fields will require vertical scrolling. Once you
accept that scrolling is inevitable, then there's no such thing as a "page"
on the web. You can scroll down as much as necessary. Unless the fields can
be grouped under some unambiguous, cognitively convenient categories, don't
bother squeezing them horizontally. You can always group them visually and
spatially on the same "page". That said, 50+is a lot of fields to fill in,
however you group them.
