AJAX Libraries - Continuous Forms

I do see the downside of the textarea method. It works well for someone like UPS because the syntax is very simple - 1 tracking number per line. In your case the users would have to learn an order syntax before they could use the bulk input, which I agree is asking too much.

I think though that a better method of "adding form fields" is to not add form fields, but add submission to a list. In other words, instead of allowing them to add a new set of fields to the form, why not reuse the form again and again, but add each submission to the page's DOM.

I whipped up an example, which can be seen here -> http://www.aaroncicali.com/kyle.html

This is just a basic prototype to illustrate, but you could make the code append new text inputs also if you'd prefer. It would also need to clear the fields on every add, but I didn't do that so that you could easily add multiples.
