This seems to be doing something similar to [equation,split] in that 
the  = signs for Line 1 and Line 2 are lined up with the end of Long 
line, as in

Long line
                = Line 1
                = Line 2

My problem, though, is that length(Long line) + length(Line 1) > 
width(page) so that, for things to remain within the page, the =  of 
Line 1 and Line 2 have to line up with, say, about the middle of Long line.

Grateful (and hopeful) regards
