No, it doesn't. Groff is in fill mode, so it's all going to be
mooshed together.

Not that I know of. It's one .EQ/.EN pair for each equation,
matrix, whatever. BTW, you need a .br on a line between your
first .EQ and the second .EN. Otherwise the two equations will be
run together.
If you don't already have them, go to this site:
<http://troff.org/papers.html>
for the following documents:
"A Guide to Typesetting Mathematics with GNU eqn" by Ted Harding
"Typesetting Mathematics -- User's Guide (Second Edition)", by
Brian W. Kernighan and Lorinda L. Cherry.
These are the docs I've been using. You'll find a lot more than just
the eqn files on that site. They all have a lot of useful info. Many
of them are a bit dated, but are still good.
Hope this helps.
