To quote the coding style document: "The preferred limit on the length of a single line is 80 columns. Statements longer than 80 columns should be broken into sensible chunks, unless exceeding 80 columns significantly increases readability and does not hide information." While a lot of the decisions are subjective, just spilling over for no good reason does not significantly improve readability in general.
