I see two options here:
1. If you know the records are going to be adjacent, you can find the 
first one using filter, get it's lineOffset in the original data and 
return the filtered line plus the following 3 lines.

2. You can do a series of filters, renewing the original data before 
each one, then concatenate the results.
