You probably shouldn't break it up - it looks uglier.

it's somewhat of a grey area - the section quoted below talks about it 
broadly - and it's typically understood to apply to multi-line statements 
as well, as it's easy to overlook and confuse multi-statements with 
multi-line statements...

Do not unnecessarily use braces where a single statement will do.

if (condition)
        action();

and

if (condition)
        do_this();
else
        do_that();

This does not apply if only one branch of a conditional statement is a 
single statement; in the latter case use braces in both branches:

if (condition) {
        do_this();
        do_that();
} else {
        otherwise();
}
