I don't see a problem, though you'd have to use different rules
than in English. Something like this:

- cmavo and gismu don't break.
- cmavo clusters break but are not marked.
- lujvo break at rafsi boundaries, with y and r glue kept with
  the first part: pavy-sel-jirna, fa'or-ma'o.
- fu'ivla ???
- names ???

mu'o mi'e xorxes

While I have no real opinion abou-
t whether it *ought* to be allowe-
d, if it is then there is no reason to have any ru-
les about where the break can occur.

As long as it is marked that the next line continues the same word, it can be anywhere.
