Currently it’s not really possible to do as a plug-in.

What you could do was create a command, let that command do something  
like:

    if [[ $TM_COLUMN_NUMBER -gt 78 ]]
      then echo -ne '\n\t\t'
      else echo -ne ' '
    fi

Then set the key equivalent of this command to space, set the input  
to “none” and output to “insert as snippet”.

Then when you press space, and you are at a column position higher  
than 78, it will insert a newline and two tabs.

You can even customize this command for different scopes using the  
scope selector, e.g. in comments you can have it also insert the  
comment character on the new line, and similar for strings.
