I currently have 3% indent on <s1> just to move things over a bit. If someone decides to view with larger font because it is a kids book, some sentences will flow onto the next line. I want that overflow to indent a bit extra so it is easy for a young reader to see that it is a continuation of the line above.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like you're asking how to do a reverse, or hanging, indent. In .s1, set margin-left to be 3 percent and text-indent to -3 percent. The text-indent only applies to the first line of a displayed paragraph and it's OK to use negative values. It's a little different way of looking at the problem. Instead of adding extra indentation to long lines, establish that indentation as the default and adjust the first line. If it's short enough, you'll not see any special effect.
