That's exactly what I did:
int if_continues = 0; // declared at the top

Circa Line 3,900
else
if_continues = 1; // break huge if
if (if_continues == 0)
NULL;
else ... // This else picks up here again

and you could replace the NULL with if_continues = 0; to allow breaking it
again in the future with the same variable.
I've never seen a single statement that long...
