That's a general problem of Texinfo in TeX mode (don't know really why, since LaTeX manages to put it at the right end).
Anyway, I wrote a script to reorder the DVI file. It's called dvi-reorder, and it's in p/script in GPC sources. It requires dviutils (dviselect and dviconcat).

Indeed. I copied these lines (as an example) from older code which does not conform to our rules about identifier names.
You have 2 lines that are 100 cols in length. While most printing defaults to 80 cols for 8.5 inch paper you can set printer to elite which gives you 96 cols without line wrap. (I prefer 90 cols max so I can have an extra margin for 3 hole punch.)
Yes I know you can't always keep the line length to 96 or less and have the results look neat, but at least this change will help at times.
Yes, line width is a difficult issue which is why we don't give fixed rules there. In this particular example, it's probably better to avoid the problem (just delete the last two lines, I think the other ones already make the point clear).
