Wrong question. (And the answer is "No". How do you force wrapping on
Braille?)

The right question is: How do I live with the fact that I cannot control
layout in a pixel-exact manner, and should not even try?

The answer naturally depends on what you are actually doing (and we cannot
get any idea of it, in the absence of URL), but normally you should avoid
creating the problem. That is, don't generate excessively long strings.
