 Possibly. Try this:

    header SUBJ_LONG_NOSP Subject =~ /^\S{30,}$/

 Having actual header samples would help.

http://pastebin.com/bhhse3C6 is a small collection of subject lines which at least seem to
fit what you're looking for.  In approximately the received

All of those have embedded spaces, so while useful themselves they don't represent what Mynabbler was reporting.
