Yup but..
  1. .newsrc.eld isn't supposed to be edited by hand
  2. Having one group per line would increase the size of the file
     enormously I believe..

But of the records, what I do when I edit my .newsrc.eld file is
replace all ')'s with ')[newline]', warning though, remember that some
paranthesis might be inside strings, so when you are finished replace
)[newline] with ) (arrgh hate macs)
