I've never used longlines.el for writing html but the one time I tried
splitting a window vertically experimentally (I'm a writer. I never
need to do this.), longlines did wrap two windows correctly. By
default longlines breaks lines at whatever your general wrap is set
for. But you can change a line in it to wrap lines by window width.

At least this is what I recall. I don't have time right now to try it.
