Just put line breaks in the docbook code, e.g.

define command{
        command_name    process-service-perfdata
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" 
                "$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$OUTPUT$\t$SERVICESTATE$\t$PERFDATA$\n" 
                | $USER2$/bin/perfparse-log2mysql -c $USER2$/etc/perfparse.cfg
        }


and then note that the line has been broken for presentation, but
that it actually needs to be all on one line. Or, if nagios supports
the the trailing '\' convention, show it that way, like you do in the
../configure examples earlier:

define command{
        command_name    process-service-perfdata
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b"  \
                "$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$OUTPUT$\t$SERVICESTATE$\t$PERFDATA$\n" \
                | $USER2$/bin/perfparse-log2mysql -c $USER2$/etc/perfparse.cfg 
        }

(I took a quick look at the nagios docs, but they don't seem to say, and
I don't have time right now to experiment.)

Basically, anything inside <programlisting> is presented "as-is", so you
need to get the width of the listing down.
