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..
