The reason its combined is because on legacy servers where the MLST command isn't supported (which returns the size and date/time in a single command) the SIZE command is used and the date/time is obtained via the file listing.
The capability of the server determines which command is used.
Either way its done by issuing a single command to the server.
The way the output is shown in the session status window doesn't allow for the grouping commands and replies. The purpose of the session status window is to show the raw text, it could always be redone in a way to beautify it but then the user wont be seeing the actual replies from the server and what we display instead.
