There has to be a way to adjust that withouth affecting the string.
Anyway, that doesn't pose problems other than adding a break here or
there. It doesn't change the translations

Unless someone objects, I will declare a 4-week string freeze on Dec
1st, for a beta release on Dec 28th. That is, if no really critical
issue is discovered at the time, but I don't expect that to happen.
