I don't know if there's a simple answer to this, but you would likely 
receive more answers if you made the question easier to answer, by 
posting complete code that people could try, not just a fragment.  Why 
not put together a minimal .Rd file and post that?

Here are two things to try:

Insert \cr where you want a break.

Decide what you want to see in the three formats (HTML, Latex, text) and 
manually handle each of them separately.
