This is explained in Appendix A "Resource File Format" of the Xt specification.

The value of the XtNlabel resource can have newline characters in it, and
the R4 Athena Label widget, and its subclasses, will do the right thing.

You could set the resource in the application program, or in an application
defaults file.  If you need to change the labels of the widgets, I suppose
you have to do it from the application.

In an application defaults file, you might write:

*label001.Label: 0\n0\n1
*label002.Label: 0\n0\n2
*label003.Label: 0\n0\n3
...
*label128.Label: 1\n2\n8
