In fact the right way is

(let* ((name0 ...)
       (name1 ...))
  ...)

In Emacs' Scheme-mode (yes there will once be a TeXmacs Scheme mode),
you will automatically obtain these indentations. In general,
it is good to mimick the indentation style in the existing code.

I also recommend to load the "tm-mode.el" in your .emacs file.
This will highlight additional TeXmacs keywords and correctly indent them.
