I would advise against using the default-Master-Detail feature in 
SQL*Forms 3.0 anyway, unless you're creating a very simple form.
All this feature does is to create a few triggers for you.  It also
sets up the "enforce key" field attribute on the column that you use
to join the blocks.

What I would suggest is that you look at the triggers that the 
default-master-detail procedure generates.  Once you understand them, 
create your own form and set them up yourself.  You will then be able
to create multi-layered master-detail blocks as you desire.
