This is really tripping me up a little bit. I'm specifically not sure how *to* is used in this particular situation. Obviously, what this says is that some statements take up or occupy more than one line and are still considered one statement. The preposition *to* usually means that something is moving in the direction of a particular location, but a statement doesn't really run in the direction of more than one line, it runs ON them—it is ON lines, say, 5 and 8. How can it be or run TO lines 5 and 8? Or is this just the way you typically say it in contexts like this?
