This "citation" discussion is NOT about the final typesetting!
It's the way many (or long) citation-refs look in the LyX text.
It's the citation-key that causes the problem, not the citation
style!!!
Many citations or long citation-keys will cause an overflow on
the right margin of the LyX window and such citations-refs are
not wrapped. Wrapping citation-refs seems to be very difficult
to implement and that's why I suggested a "footnote" style for
the citation-refs in LyX as a solution.
For one of my citation-references I have to make my LyX window
2000 pixels wide in order to see/check all the references.
After being processed throught LaTeX, this long list shows up
as "[1-23]".
