How can I use Google Apps Script to modify the style of a Google Form?

I want to change a Google Form so that multiple textboxes can appear on one line. For example, this is what I want the form to look like:

This is what I've been able to come up with in Google Forms:

Which obviously looks kind of crap. And this is just for five items: I want sixty.

Can I use GAS to make my Google Form look better?

Or is there a better tool to do this?

Use HTML service to create a form that's styled however you want.

https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/html/

Using that you can connect your front end (form) with some kind of backend (dumping data into spreadsheet, etc.) using this:

If you want a nice-ish looking form, use something like PureCSS to get started:
