You are probably not the first person to run into such issues. So
before asking for exceptions from the rules, you should look around
how other developers have solved the problems you are facing.

Why don't you simply split the strings into two or more parts?  This
will actually make the environment _better_ readable.  For an example,
have a look at [1] or other existing config files.
