You cannot read ahead of the current line, so you'll have to store
the last two values (resp. xy value pairs), and always only plot the
next-to-last one.

Key tool for this ghastly hack is the serial evaluation operator ",".

plot dataf us (lllx=llx,llx=lx,lx=$1,llly=lly,lly=ly,ly=$2, llx): \
  ((llly<lly && ly<lly) ? lly+a:(llly>lly)&&(ly>llyy) ? lly-a : lly)

Haven't tried now. You need to initialise all l* variables with NaN.
Honestly, I wouldn't go for gnuplot to do that. Use your favourite
spreadsheet calculator to transform the original dataset.
