Since multiboot lines tend to become very long lines, is it possible
to split it over multiple lines in boot.cfg ?

Not at the moment, but it wouldn't be tough to add. The boot.cfg file is loaded in its entirety and then it is processed by null-terminating the component strings at the field boundaries (=, :, \n). We could decree that a line beginning with whitespace is a continuation of the previous line (c.f. /etc/mail/aliases, /etc/printcap) and in that situation replace the \n on the previous line by a space.
