Maybe but this part of the code is complicated and it would risk making it worse in other cases. There are test cases in texinfo-tex-test.texi in the Texinfo repository which you could try with different configurations. Currently, it attempts to split the line roughly 70%/30% in length. (See \finishentry in texinfo.tex). It is probably not possible to do it by word count. I think the first line should be longer than the second line, but apart from that I am not convinced that it looks better to have the first line longer. A more even split may be more readable.
