In QGIS 2.18 there is an option to wrap text based on a certain character. There is no option to access expression builder or make the text wrap after a certain number of characters.

Ideally there would be an option to auto wrap text based on the size of the legend box.

For 3.34 Prizren: In Legend, Item properties tab, click on your troublesome layer and hit the expression button below

Add the expression: wordwrap(@symbol_label , 30)
30 being the number of characters you want each line to wrap on, so change it to whatever you need
