I didn't read all your examples so I might not understand this
correctly. Anyway, I've written a command which sounds like what you
need. With prefix argument the command requests a separator string to be
inserted between rectangle rows. The default is space (" ").


(defun tl-yank-rectangle-sequentially (beg end char)
  ;; Variable "select-active-regions" must not be t.
  (interactive (list (region-beginning) (region-end)
                     (if current-prefix-arg
                         (read-string "Separator string: ")
                       " ")))
  (save-match-data
    (kill-new (mapconcat 'identity (extract-rectangle beg end) char))
    (setq deactivate-mark t)))
