This is a huge stab in the dark here, but I thought I'd give it a try. On the last line of the regex, it uses a code evaluation expression (which I believe is still experimental) to set the @cts array using the last unused portion of the line in an internal, separate regex.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

my %bad;

while (<DATA>){
    chomp;

    my @cts;
    
    my ($t, $p, $s, $d) 
      = (/^([A-Z]\d\d)\s+       # $t  
          (1?\d)\s+             # $p
          (\d?\d(?:\.1)?)\s+    # $s
          ([0-3])\s+            # $d
          (?{@cts = $' =~ m#(\d?\d\.\d)#g}) # @cts
          /x) 
       or ($bad{$_}++) && next;

    print join(' ', @cts);
    print "\n";
}

print "\nPrinting bad lines:\n";

while (my ($k, $v) = each %bad){
    print "$k: $v\n";
}

On one long line, the regex would look like this (note I've replaced your literal spaces with \s):

/^([A-Z]\d\d)\s+(1?\d)\s+(\d?\d(?:\.1)?)\s+([0-3])\s+(?{@cts = $' =~ m
+#(\d?\d\.\d)#g})/
