Actually the mathml doesn't have any special markup for the stack of
calculation so you can I think just use shortstackedrightright
but omit the rows of the mlongdiv with mn corresponding to the products
and the mlines to get the layout that you show.

so something like

<mlongdiv longdivstyle="shortstackedrightright">
  <mn> 435,3</mn>
  <mn> 3 </mn>
  <mn> 1306</mn>
  <msgroup position="2" shift="-1">
    <msgroup>
      <mn> 10</mn>
    </msgroup>
    <msgroup>
      <mn> 16</mn>
      <mn> 1,0</mn> 
    </msgroup>
    <msgroup position='-1'> 
      <mn> 1</mn>
    </msgroup>
  </msgroup>
</mlongdiv>


(untested as I haven't got an implementation of this yet)
