Sure. In Dialogue Manager, just make sure to prefix each continuation line with a dash at the very beginning.

-SET &TEST = IF &BLAH EQ 1 THEN 0 ELSE
-            IF &BLAH EQ 2 THEN 1 ELSE
-            ... ELSE 99;

Just keep in mind that all DM commands start with a dash, as demoed by njsden. The dash is used as a continuation character from the previous line.
