Not beautiful, but gets the job done:

while (<DATA>) {
        if (/^FILE/ && split(/[\s\\]+/) == 5) {
                my ($num,$trail) = <DATA> =~ m/^\s*(\d+)\s*(.*)$/s;
                s/\s*(?=\\\s*$)/ $num /s;
                print; print $trail;
        } else {
                print;
        }
}

__DATA__
