When I needed something like that, I used \allowbreak with inlinemath. 
In your case, you could do:
\bTABLE[frame=on,align=right,width=10cm]
\bTR
\bTD
$I=\big\{\lambda u(x_0-\pi^H K)\allowbreak+(1-\lambda)[\pi^L 
u(x_0-K+(1-\pi^L)Z_{L'})\allowbreak+(1-\pi^L)u(x_0-\pi^L 
Z_{L'})]\big\}\allowbreak -\big\{\pi^U 
u(x_0-K+(1-\pi^U)Z_{U'})\allowbreak+(1-\pi^U)u(x_0-\pi^U Z_{U'})\big\}.$
\eTD
\eTR
\eTABLE

This will just flow it like regular text. I don't know if this is good 
enough for your needs. If not, you can add another way to your list of 
ways ;-).
