What are you using to view the file?  If it's a "Posix" program that's
expecting to see byte stream files, be aware that your file is an MPE
variable length file and if the program asks for byte stream access (any
standard shell program or anything else linked with the "Posix" version of
the C library) then it's going to be hooked up to the bytestream emulator
which is going to make you think that there's an extra LF character in the
file located between each MPE record.

Doing a binary tobyte on the file might eliminate your "extra" LFs if that's
what you want to do.

Lots of programs try to be clever in their handling of LS vs. CRLF vs. CR
line separators and in handling redundant separators, so you can't always be
sure that what you get is what you see.
