It's not really a Visualforce-specific question, consider changing the tags to CSS and you'll attract experts. Lots of options you can experiment with, have you seen these?

• https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/white-space
• https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/overflow-wrap
• https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/word-break

if the text contains <br> or newlines you could even wrap it in <pre> tags...

What's your VF page structure? Do you use <apex:outputField> for that or <apex:pageBlockSectionItem>? these should enforce some wrapping too. If you have raw {!myField} in the page then well, wrapping (and protecting from XSS injection!) is on you...
