You could pass -w to ledger to specify wide output.
Related question: is there a way to specify that ledger should not reformat comments? In other words: 1. if the comment is on the same line as the account, such as Expenses $10 ; very long comment on this account that exceeds the width then the comment should NOT be wrapped; and 2. if the comment is on the following line, such as Expenses $10 ; short comment then it should not be combined with the previous line.
