Because that is the way it was designed. If there were more than one record per row, it would be difficult to identify where each record ended and the next began. Of course, you always could write a custom function or complex macro to allow for this, but it probably is not worth the effort.

Row 1 = Record 1, Row 2 = Record 2, etc. is much easier than A1:D1 = Record 1, E1:H1 = Record 2, etc.
