My immediate reaction is that there should be only two cases: the first 
one you identify (in which there is space for the label) and an "else" 
case in which the label gets pushed to the next line.  I find variations 
in how formulae are centered to be distracting (but that is just my 
preference).

Cheers,
Rory
