Well, the fewer spaces roff has to work with, the more each space has to expand: the formatter will always bring the text to both margins under ".ad. n". (This assumes there are spaces or other breakpoints to work with: if there are none, such as in a lengthy string without spaces like a URL, text may fall short of or go past the right margin.) But typically in a situation such as you're demonstrating, where a horizontal line goes most of the width of a page, you'll explicitly ask for a break before the horizontal line, which will result in more reasonable layout of the preceding text.
