I’m trying to put together a table for a document, and I want to be able to adjust the lines without adjusting the whole row. Is there a way to “separate” the horizontal lines within the table so that that I can move them in different columns without adjusting them in every column?

Your screenshot is not self-explanatory enough. Please replace it with some contents in the table (letters or numbers) so that we can correlate the first image with the second. Also, enable View>Formatting Marks. Don’t forget to mention OS name, LO version and save format.
Improve the description of your goal, perhaps with real contents in the table to illustrate your purpose.
Re-open your question by clicking on …, then on the “pencil” tool to edit it. This is more friendly to contributors as all necessary information will be located at the same location without needing to scroll across comments.
I am unsure if “bumping” is allowed on this forum, but this issue is still unresolved. I’ve done the edits that were asked of me and just desire a solution.
Red triangle in a cell means you have more text than can fit in the cell. This happens only when you explicitly force tow size to some fixed height. By default, rows are “dynamic”: their size automatically adjust to cell contents.
To fix the problem, re-set row height to automatic.
In case you require fixed row height, arrange for your text not to overflow.
Create a section with two columns, and insert one table in each column.

Maybe you want to untick Allow table to split across pages and columns (Table Properties).
