Ok at the core this is not a LyX problem. LyX uses the hyperref package
to create the links in the output.
According to the hyperref docs[1] you've to set "breaklinks=true".

In LyX you can achieve that by going to Document->Settings->PDF Properties->
enable the "Use Hyperref support" check box -> Tab Hyperlinks -> checkbox
"Break links over lines".

The result is that the exportet TeX file has the settings made but the link
in the pdf is still not wraped here. Maybe you can comfirm that on your system
aswell.

This will require some more digging through documentation and bugtracker to
find the root of the problem.
