I would do something like:

1. Ctrl-V + movement to select block
2. hit $ to extend selection to end of line
3. type :s/;$/<Tab><Tab><Tab><Tab>;<Enter>

Note: <Tab> means you hit the tab key, and should display as ^I

You should see something like:

:'<,'>s/;$/^I^I^I^I^I; before you

Some of the ';' will probably be misaligned, but this shouldn't be a
problem if you just want to do some block-inserts, anyway (?).
