To add to Gregory comment, you'll find additional tips for long
equations on following web page:

# How to break up long formulas. Breaking up overlong lines in displays
can be very tricky, and requires a good knowledge of the underlying
mathematics as well as a feel for good mathematical typesetting. For
that reason, TeX doesn't break formulas, as it does with ordinary
text. However, there are some general guidelines. Here are possible
breaking points, in decreasing order of desirability:
* Right before an equal sign or equivalent (e.g., a "less than"
sign). In this case, place the alignment symbol (ampersand) placed
before the equal sign, i.e., ... + x \\ &= . The equal signs (or
equivalent) should be aligned.
* Before a plus or minus sign. In that case, the continuation line
should be shifted to the right by a \qquad. If the continuation
line is very short, two \qquad's might be better.
* Between two large "chunks" that are multiplied. The chunks could
be large parenthesized expression, sums or integrals. This should
be used only as a last resort, and in that case the preceding line
should end with an explicit multiplication symbol (\times), the
continuation line should begin with \times symbol and be shifted
as far to the right (by preceding it with a few \qquad's after the
alignment symbol).
Yours,
d.
