You can use \section[short name]{long name} in latex mode.
However, a better solution is to globally disable hyphenation inside section
commands by putting the following lines in the preamble:
\let\oldsection=\section
\renewcommand{\section}[1]{{\raggedright\hyphenpenalty=10000 \oldsection{#1}}}
You then won't need to put line breaks in your sections!
