There is no possible "correct" solution for this.
Since it's code, it can't be automatically wrapped, because it breaks[1].
In rst2pdf I offer a "shrink" fit where the font size is decreased until it
fits the page, but it's not meant for production usage (you can end with
completely unreadable blocks!)
So, I expect the answer is "yes, you need to format it by hand".
And the really bad news: you probably need to format it by hand again for
printing, if you want to print.
[1] Ok, if you know the language you *could* wrap it in some cases. But in
arbitrary code blocks you don't.
