Description
Copied from https://github.com/wemake-services/flake8-eradicate/issues/265:
If you paste the following code into a new file, flake8-eradicate will only detect the first and the third code blocks. The second block, split over two lines is not detected.
# create_output_path(*os.path.split(mypath),
# overwrite=overwrite,
# exist_ok=True)
# create_output_path(*os.path.split(mypath), overwrite=overwrite,
# exist_ok=True)
# create_output_path(*os.path.split(mypath), overwrite=overwrite, exist_ok=True)
Repro steps
$ python3.8 -m venv ~/deleteme

$ pip install flake8-eradicate
$ flake8 test.py --max-line-length=81
Expected result
Commented out code found on lines 2-4, 6-7, and 9.
Actual result
test.py:3:1: E800 Found commented out code
test.py:9:1: E800 Found commented out code

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by placing the three examples in test.py and running flake8 test.py --max-line-length=81 as shown. Trace how flake8-eradicate handles consecutive commented lines, then make the result detect the commented-out code on lines 2-4, 6-7, and 9.
