Whereat, exactly ?

There's only one [Next] button available within any one edit
area. And there's competing scenarios:

1) enter several (different) tests from a same-day printout
   received from the lab

        -> this is what the behaviour of the test reuslts EA's
           [Next] button is currently optimized for

2) enter several results of the same type from a time series
   such as when typing in old data

        -> this could be useful to data typists transferring
           paper charts into GNUmed

You can use the accelerator <ALT-A> ("Add _a_nother").

Please suggest a concrete scenario how you would want this
to work.

We already do have clinical calculator code now which
supports nearly arbitrarily complex calculations. However,
neither does it have a UI nor is it integrated with keyword
expansions (which is one thing I plan to do). So far it
supports BSA, BMI, GFR.

How would you imagine "complex calculations" being
integrated into the workflow ?
