I'll get back to this rule eventually.
I was watching a Varsity girls game this weekend and A2,3,4,5 lined up perpendicular to the boundary line but with enough space that B team wedged in between them. A team then began the usual pushing and jostling to keep B out. Official then came running in and reninstated B players to original position, A coach whined and Official basically told him to stuff it.

Parallel =/= Perpendicular.
The NCAA Rule does allow teammates to line up perpendicularly. NFHS isn't explicit, but since they did not line up parallel, I'd be inclined not to let B wedge in.
