Hmmm. I feel like I may be missing something here.
It seems to me this would work.
<!-- array of cmdLine terminated by NL -->
<xs:element name="CmdLine" maxOccurs="unbounded"
dfdl:terminator="%NL;">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence dfdl:separator=";"
dfdl:separatorPosition="infix" >
<!-- array of parts separated by
";" -->
<xs:element name="part"
macOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence
dfdl:separator="%SP;">
<!-- required token
separated from any following param by a space -->
<xs:element name="token"
type="xs:string" dfdl:lengthKind="delimited"/>
<!-- array of zero or
more param separated by spaces -->
<xs:element name="param"
type="xs:string" maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0"
dfdl:lengthKind="delimited"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
I think that would give you
<cmdLine><!-- first line -->
<part>
<token>AAAA</token>
<param>BB</param>
<param>C</param>
</part>
<part>
<token>DDDD</token>
<param>E</param>
<param>FFF</param>
</part>
</cmdLine>
<cmdLine><!-- second line -->
<part>
<token>GGGG</token>
</part>
<part>
<token>HHHH:III</token>
</part>
</cmdLine>
<cmdLine><!-- third line -->
<part>
<token>JJJJ</token>
</part>
</cmdLine>
