The thing is, ePub is not a fixed layout print version so you can't always replicate the print layout and have to come up with a different layout that works, That layout won't work in all cases. A good case of it failing is reading on an iPhone with a large font size.
Wolfie:

The OP said that the lines he posted are the longest. That means that it will take some significant font-sizing increase to create wrap. Yes, if it's read on a smartphone, sure...the 3rd segment will, maybe, wrap. But if he has a pigheaded client (I feel the pain), then this will mostly work on standardized standalone eReaders--Nooks, Kobo, iBooks, etc.
