No, this is all done through the phone provisioning. You are correct,
you would set reg.1.lineKeys="1" but then set reg.1.callsPerLineKey="6"
or 4 or whatever you want. In the default phone1.cfg callsPerLineKey
immediately follows the lineKeys setting.

I cannot see the caller ID of the other lines, only the last line I

There is a way, but you may not like it.
When you provision the phone you can specify how many line keys and how
many calls per line key you want. If you specify one line key but (lets
say) 4 calls per line key, then the phone will display a scrollable list
of your current calls, including the caller ID. You use the up and down
arrow to select which caller you want and then the soft keys to perform
a function (hold, resume, transfer, end call).
It can require a few more button presses than one call per line key for
certain things and it doesn't work well if you have the phone set up
with multiple registrations.
We use this method on our phones here for the very reason. People don't
seem to mind.
