I'm not sure what follows is a clean, side-effect free approach, but it
may work for you: Write your characters in groups, and put spaces where
line breaks are allowed. For example:

<h1 class=tie>ABC DEFG HIJ</h1>

Use CSS to make te spaces invisible:

..tie {word-spacing:-.25em;}

This will be rendered as ABCDEFGHIJ, but line breaks, if necessary, will
only occur between C-D or G-H.
