Do you mean "vim chops the line in 2 at the last whitespace char, once 
you've typed more than N chars on the line"?  If so, ":se tw=0" ?  In 
general, you set tw (textwidth) to something like 72 for editing normal 
text files, and 0 for things with insanely long lines.  BTDT, which is 
why my .vimrc on one machine had se tw=0 in it.
