Perhaps test for > n chars and if so, wrap after the section name,
like

  [11] .text             PROGBITS        00015a80 015a80 0f9e34 00  AX  0   0 16
  [12] some_really_big_section_name_probably_from_c++_name_mangling
                         PROGBITS        0010f8c0 10f8c0 00086a 00  AX  0   0 16

With --wide, n probably should be increased too.
