I would like to reproduce the same manipulation with the title on the first line, the series + the number on the second and the author for the last.
To know:
Title
Series - Serial Number
Author

The problem is that I can not get the series + the number on a second line, they stay on the first. I have glanced at the Model Language tutorial of Calibre to try and solve this problem myself, but nothing to my knowledge indicates the "line break".
Have you plugged the device in again after sending the books to it? The series info cannot be set on the Kobo device when a book is added. It gets set the next time the device is connected.

If it isn't being set after the next connection, then you need to check the configuration. The driver needs to have the option set (right click on the device button when it is connected, select the configure menu item and go through the options), and on the "Sending books to device" page of the preferences, Metadata Management needs to be set to automatic.

If you have the series info showing in the title line, then either you have the series info in the title in the calibre library, or you are using a metadata plugboard to set it. You need to either fix the title, or remove the plugboard for future books. The Kobo Utilities plugin can be used to change the metadata for books already on the device.
