It is one variable, so I think it must appear on one logical line. 
However, I don't see any reason you can't use line-continuation to 
improve the legibility. Doing so will let your content span several 
short visual lines in your text file.

 From the man file for hosts.cfg (the first place I looked for 
continuation):
"Long lines can be broken up by putting a backslash at the end of the 
line and continuing the entry on the next line."

I expect white space in the line to be stripped by the parser, so I'd 
expect to be able to insert "\" and " " characters liberally. You should 
be able to make your lines appear however you like.
