I nearly always use identical orders for groups of ships. Something
like:
Turn
1.     All Spd 6+2=8 R1
2.     All Spd 8-1=7 L2
3.     1 Spd 7-4=3
       2 Spd 7-3=4
       3 Spd 7-2=5
       4 Spd 7-1=6
4.     1 Spd 3+4=7
       2 Spd 4+3=7
       3 Spd 5+2=7
       4 Spd 6+1=7
5      All Spd 7-3=4 
which would turn a line-abreast formation heading straight up the table
into a line-abreast formation going left-ish.

However, I always fire ships separately.
