This suggests that one day there might be other warnings that fall
into the style-diagnostic category, and thus that establishing a
common prefix, maybe "sd*" or "style-", would be helpful to group all
these knobs together.

True, but with a prefix establishing it as a style diagnostic, a vague
following term might be OK.

A more specific choice could be "continuedsentence", but with a prefix
this is even longer than your idea that was "too long" (though it is
easier to parse without CamelCase).
