Yeah, screen doesn't allow split lines (or lines whose lengths are
greater than 2048 bytes). Nor does it allow combining lines (say, with a
semicolon)

I dunno... you could set it in an environment variable (careful with the
quoting) and use screen's env var replacement. Or you could write a
preprocesor that recombines split lines (and re-splits them for editing,
I guess).
