There's a patch for splitting strings (string components I think it's called). Use that, set the splitting character to a comma, and you'll have a nice structure with all your separate bits of text in it.
After that, you need a way to display it well. You could just show one string at a time, or you could use an iterator to show several. Say you want 10 lines on screen, you'd have an iterator set to 10 iterations, and you need to swap each sprite/billboard out for the next item when it moves off-screen (this is the tricky part!). I've used this method to do very long scroll texts before now, with per-character animation. Let me know if that's helpful, I'll see if I can dig out an example.
