To my knowledge there is no possibility to achieve that in plain XSL-FO.
I think the best way of handling this issue is to perform line breaks
manually. That’s probably what you want anyway, as you will break at
sensible places while an automatic process would blindly break after,
say, each 80 characters, be it in the middle of a keyword or not.

Try and determine how many characters you can put on a line, manually do
your line breaking, then disable automatic line breaking by setting
wrap-option="no-wrap".

HTH,
Vincent
