At "The Great Admirals. Command at Sea, 1587-1945", compiled by Jack Sweetman (US Naval Institute, Annapolis, Maryland, USA, 1997 -I have the Spanish tranlation, published in Argentina in 1999-), both Sweetman and the Dutch Joahnnes Jacobus Antonius Wijn (who wrote Tromp's biography) talk about Tromp's surprise against the Spanish, using the line of battle for the better use of the guns.
Perhaps, the great admiral took this tactic as a very special one, the only possible in this circunstances, and therefore he didn't use it later, when his fleet was similar to enemy's one.
