Is it possible to fill in an online version of the PIP application, as we were able to with DLA? I have not been able to locate an online template. What if a persons handwriting is poor, or they can't write without pain, but can type? Also, I'd need a lot of continuation sheets!

Every page of the PIP2 is bar marked with a tag unique to you so there is no online version available.
It is perfectly OK for you to type your answers and attach them as extra pages to the PIP2, just make sure that each page has your full name and NIN at the top and that they are numbered, we recommend "page X of Y" so that it is easy to see if pages are missing. Make sure you clearly mark on the form where your answers are and on the relevant page that you are answering question X.
Attach the pages to the back of the PIP2 using a staple or make a hole in the top left corner and use a treasury tag, string or ribbon to the form. The pages need to be easily detached so that they can be scanned by the DWP.

One assumes they make some provision for people unable to read printed forms or write on them? That is not my situation but it will affect someone I know. If it were in Word her e-reader would assist.
