Column selections may require the mouse in other editors, but not in  
TextMate:

working_with_text#column_selections

So for a soft wrapped line, move to column 40 (or whatever) use  
⇧⌘←, ⌥, and then ⌃Q to get a reformatted paragraph with a  
width of 40 columns.

You can also let the column selection start at column 4 or similar to  
have the reformatted paragraph indented.
