Or using the block selection:

2G     //line 2
y$     //yank to end of line
2j     //down two lines
$      //end of line
<C-q>  //enter visual mode blockwise
9j     //down nine lines
A      //visual-block append
<C-r>" //paste from register "
Esc    //quit visual mode (this is when the change will affect all lines)
