Current formatting makes code less readable in some scenario

The threshold of long-string is be to low, breaks line in unwanted position
for example I have a comment
/*
* so as mentioned above this subsystem is only for hardware on top of existing hardware
*/
and forcefully change into the following
/*
* so as mentioned above this subsystem is only for hardware on top of existing
* hardware
*/
quite unnecessary for the sentence that's two or three words over the threshold
although I could break the sentence in the middle to make it reads smooth even in multiple lines, but a modern 16:9 screen should be able to display a line with 100 characters
Could the formatter be little relax/flexible on the long-string detection?

Yep, it's org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.comment.line_length which is currently set to 80.
What do you think a good value would be?
