Something like this?

Phil

* input data
clear
input ID        Group     E1        E2        E3        E4        t_end
1         1         2         .         .         .         48
2         5         6         12        18        .         36
end

* reshape to long format
* the final time is the last "failure" time so rename accordingly
rename t_end E5
reshape long E, i(ID) j(failnum)
rename E time
drop if missing(time) // don't need these records

gen byte status=failnum!=5 // they're all failures apart from failnum 5

* time0 is the origin
gen time0=0
bysort ID (failnum): replace time0=time[_n-1] if _n>1

* failnum can now just be a simple counter
bysort ID (failnum): replace failnum=_n

* display resulting data
order ID Group time0 time status failnum
list, sepby(ID)
