Hmm, I do not know whether the following could help you but maybe you play with it
[Is only a fast thought idea! ;) ]

- create a tmcommand in the Bundle Editor
input: none
output: discard
command:
if [ ${#TM_CURRENT_LINE} -gt $TM_COLUMNS ]; then
	osascript -e 'tell app "System Events" to keystroke " "' -e 'tell app "System Events" to keystroke "q" using (control down)' -e 'tell app "System Events" to keystroke " "'
else
	echo -en " "
	exit 203
fi

- bind that command e.g. to "space"

That command reformats the paragraph (^Q) if the current line length is greater than the wrap column setting (main menu > View > Wrap Column).
