adding to the explanation above, you can 'continue' a line in grub for
readability using the line end escape '\' character.

Thus your entries would look like this rather than what was in your
email:

title GNU/Hurd OSKit
root (hd0,8)
kernel /boot/kernel root=device:hd0s9 --
module /hurd/ext2fs.static                         \
--multiboot-command-line=${kernel-command-line}    \
--host-priv-port=${host-port}                      \
--device-master-port=${device-port}                \
--exec-server-task=${exec-task} -T typed ${root}   \
$(task-create) $(task-resume)
module /lib/ld.so.1 /hurd/exec $(exec-task=task-create)


 FYI: emacs will do this for you, if you select (highlight) the lines
 to backslash then:

      M-x c-mode
      M-x c-backslash-region
