In IDL, you can add !c in the title string to put a carriage return in. Use
other font sizing ! switches to make the font smaller.
There is also a subtitle keyword to plot, etc. (!p.subtitle) which adds
a subtitle in a smaller font under the lower X axis.

Just use the control string character !C. Here is an example from one of my
programs. This is in XYOUTS, but I think it should work just in plot titles.
This draws 3 lines of text, one above the next.
xyouts, 80, 1.2e16, 'Undulator A!C10.5 - 12.5 mm gap!Cmeasured field', $
align=0.5

If I understand your question correctly, you might want to try the
Hershey control symbol !C, ie.
title= 'A very important result !C (with a few restrictions)'
which should give you a two line title.
