Well, I did the change to be compatible with wall from sysvinit. The
original (BSD) wall header format was
Broadcast Message from %s@%s
(%s) at %d:%02d ...
it means two lines.

Now you want to reintroduce the old behavior (more lines for the header),
but with a completely random split... I don't think it's a good idea.
If we don't want the sysvinit header then it would be better to
compose nice proper header than depend on for (i = 0; 0 < len;
i++)...
