I don't agree. This is part of a full paragraph, and the ideal string would
be just one. It's a mere coincidence that the first example msgid I wrote
ends on a full stop. A translation would possibly span to two lines, and
then you would have a problem, with the first "single" line taking one
complete line and possibly just a few columns of the second, but you wouldn't
be able to add more to the second line, as the msgid ended there.
