sean,
here are some examples of long string output with&without imbedded
linefeed characters,
astr='11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111' +$
'22222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222'+$
'3333333333333333333333333333333333333333 and so on...'
print, astr
LF=string(10B)
astr='11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111' +LF+$
'22222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222'+LF+$
'3333333333333333333333333333333333333333 and so on...'
print,format='("11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 ",/,'+$
' "22222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222",/,'+$
' "3333333333333333333333333333333333333333 and so
on...")'

long_string = 'kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk' + $
'kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk' + $
'kkkkkkkkk'
At least, that's how emacs does it for me.

I probably am misunderstanding you, but how about:
ridiculouslylong1 = ' ballksjdfljasldfkjalksfjdlkajsd lkasjdf ;lkajsdf lk
;alkdsfj '
rl2= ' ballksjdfljasldfkjalksfjdlkajsd lkasjdf ;lkajsdf lk ;alkdsfj '
rl3 = 'ballksjdfljasldfkjalksfjdlkajsd lkasjdf ;lkajsdf lk ;alkdsfj '
rl4 = 'ballksjdfljasldfkjalksfjdlkajsd lkasjdf ;lkajsdf lk ;alkdsfj '
rl5 = ' ballksjdfljasldfkjalksfjdlkajsd lkasjdf ;lkajsdf lk ;alkdsfj
formatstring = ridiculouslylong1 +rl2 +rl3 etc..
