(Please correct me if I'm wrong.) A header field is logically a single line, so it can't exceed 998 octets. See section 2.2.3 of RFC 5322, "Long Header Fields". The not-really problem with List-Unsubscribe is that unsub URLs can often be longer than 78 characters, and breaking them with white space makes them not work. So don't break them. As already noted, if your URLs don't fit in 998 characters, you have other problems.
