Alex,

Try the \vphantom command inside the parenthesis/braces, for example:

\begin{multline*}
\left(\vphantom{\int_{a}^{b}f\left(x\right)g\left(x-x_{0}\right)dx} \int_{a}^{b}f\left(x\right)\right.\\ \left.\vphantom{\int_{a}^{b}f\left(x\right)g\left(x-x_{0}\right)dx}g \left(x-x_{0}\right)dx\right)\end{multline*}

\vphantom should contain the entire equation, which will not show, but will guarantee that the parentheses/braces will be sized for the entire content, not just the first line or second line of the equation.

Thanks for your reply. My question was more on the lines of how to get
bigger parenthesis/braces when I need to split the equation:

So if I want to split this:
A = ..........( LONG_TERM1 + LONG_TERM2)

I would like to get:
A = ...........Big(  LONG_TERM1
                  + LONG_TERM2  Big)

Thanks,
Alex

parenthesis, over several lines ?

The best way I know is using the split or multiline environments
provided by AMS.
You need to add \usepackage{amsmath} to your preamble; package
documentation is easy to find with Google.
