Description

When `spotless` re-indents, many strings that are broken across lines end up exceeding 100 characters. Rather than force them all to be fixed in a single PR, we could disable the check and do it a few at a time, since it is easy "idle hands" work. This JIRA tracks that (the actual disabling is not yet committed).

Imported from Jira [BEAM-4669](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-4669). Original Jira may contain additional context.

Research direction

Inspect the Spotless and Checkstyle configuration to find the disabled LineLength check and its 100-character limit. Review the strings that Spotless re-indents, then re-enable the check and address the resulting violations incrementally; done means the check passes without requiring one large cleanup PR.
