FWIW I personally feel that this multi-line condition block becomes even less
readable than it already was, and is one example where it's possibly better
to ignore the limit or organize the code different. Just as an example, this
one doing the same already looks more readable to me :


  		if (i > 0 && numsentences[bn] < 9 &&
		    sentbuf[bn][i] == SPACE && sentbuf[bn][i - 1] == '.') {
			/* Sentence Marker */
  			numsentences[bn]++;
  			sentmarks[bn][numsentences[bn]] = &sentbuf[bn][i];
  		}
