Try it online! Should be 121 bytes but I was too lazy to deal with the whitespace at the start and end. Explanation:

[blank line]
. EISHVUF_ARL_WPJ¶- TNDBXKCYMGZQO__

The letters whose code begins with . and - respectively are preloaded. (It is theoretically possible to avoid preloading the .- but it saves bytes this way.) _s are used instead of spaces as they are considered to be letters which makes them easier to match below.

+m`^((.*?)([-.]+) )(\w)((\w)+?)(((?<-6>)\w)+)$
$2$3 $4   $3. $5¶$.1$*     $3- $7

Here we split each line up into five pieces:

  • The letters for prefixes, if any
  • The current Morse code
  • The current letter
  • The first half of the remaining letters (their next character is .)
  • The second half of the remaining letters (their next character is -)

The pieces are then reassembled onto two lines:

  • The letters for prefixes, the current Morse code, the current letter, the Morse code with a . suffix, the first half of the remaining letters
  • Spaces replacing the first three pieces, the Morse code with a - suffix, the second half of the remaining letters

The new lines follow the same format as the existing line, just with an extra Morse prefix and half as many letters remaining to process. This is then repeated until each line has only one letter.

_
  [single space]

The _s are then changed back into spaces.

How?

Note: I do think there may be a way to trim this down by forming a list which formats correctly by use of the grid atom, G, but I can't quite work out how.
