I think he means continuation lines. There are three solutions to them:

1) align and enforce the tabstop size (this is Emacs default)
[ tab  ]unsigned x = (a + b +
[ tab  ][ tab   ].... c);

2) align with spaces, not tabs
[ tab  ]unsigned x = (a + b +
[ tab  ]..............c);

3) don't align, just indent
[ tab  ]unsigned x = (a + b +
[ tab  ][ tab  ]c)
