Well, FO doesn't have any sense of breaking at an arbitrary number of characters. The FO idiom is to fill the line until the end of the line or the end of the text is reached.
If you really want to break the text every eighty lines, you can do it with XSLT and then put each chunk in its own block. Getting the line break to be at the last space before 80 characters will be a bit more interesting, but not impossible. I'm curious why you would want to create a PDF representation of what is usually a pure-text representation method. Why not let PDF do what PDF does well (make paragraphs, have bold for emphasis, and so on)?

Can anyone suggest the FO syntax to do this?
