It is not against convention, but there are no hard line rules for
these.

The only suggestion is to split the lines sensibly with
readability stressed.

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/coding-style.html#breaking-long-lines-and-strings

"Statements longer than 80 columns should be broken into sensible 
chunks, unless exceeding 80 columns significantly increases readability 
and does not hide information.

Descendants are always substantially shorter than the parent and are 
placed substantially to the right. A very commonly used style is to 
align descendants to a function open parenthesis."


I personally find it :

	result = rather_long_function_statement(arg1, arg2,
					        ........);

way better readable than :

	result =
		rather_long_function_statement(.....);

Haven't used it, but it does seem to say it may not be perfect ;-).
That said, I am not too strict about this. You may leave it unchanged
if it is painful.
