BTW, OpenSSL has a flag for such cases - BIO_FLAGS_BASE64_NO_NL. Setting this flag would allow data with no line breaks to be decoded.

Try decoding those single line blobs with OpenSSL. Boom. For a lot of apps,
that's a serious problem.
C++ xmlsec had to recode around this and stop using OpenSSL calls to load
certificates and such, but the issue still crops up.
