As theducks mentioned, it may be better to have more reasonable line lengths.

In the future, you could also do something like this:

Code:
<p>Alexandria, <a href="">123</a>, <a href="">124</a>, <a href="">125</a>, <a href="">126</a>, <a href="brokenlink">127</a>, <a href="">128</a></p>
Save a temporary EPUB, and then run this Search/Replace in Regex Mode:

Search: ,\s
Replace: ,\r\n

After:

Code:
<p>Alexandria,
 <a href="">123</a>,
 <a href="">124</a>,
 <a href="">125</a>,
 <a href="">126</a>,
 <a href="brokenlink">127</a>,
 <a href="">128</a></p>
Then next time you run epubcheck, you get a more helpful line number.

Tools > Reports > Links, then sort by the "Target Exists?" column. If it says "no" then you can go take a closer look.

As an example, "page800" accidentally "page80":
