this is kind of tricky problem to solve perfectly via an algorithm, we can
relatively easily evenly divide words pre line, but that is not always the
ideal breaking point. Sometimes its a coma or end of thought. 

What we can do is allow users to include line breaks newlines in the subtitle
wikitext so they decide when the line breaks rather than the word count. This
lets you break on commas or end of more logical breaking points.  

The subtitle parser was not handling <br> very well so that is fixed in r80276
you can see an example here ( once I push out the update ) 
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Folgers.ogv#t=13
where we break after the comma.
