Yes, and ?make.groups (and reshape of course) could help with that.
This might not be strictly necessary though.

However, I'm finding your pseudo-code confusing. Could you create a
small example data set that can be used to try out some real code?
Just from your description, I would have suggested something like

xyplot(Observed + Predicted ~ Time | Individuals + Model,
       data = mydata,
       panel = panel.superpose.2, type = c("p", "l"),
       layout = c(0, nlevels(mydata$Individuals)),
       <...>)

If all you want is to plot one page at a time, there are easier ways to do that.
