Imagine the above statement, but expanded, as I am working with more than 28 variables in this loop, and even making the names really short is making the statement too long. Is it impossible to wrap and make this work? I know there are ways to wrap strings, including lists of variables, but here I have a statement/function.

At what point are you wrapping it? Can you show the wrapped form and
the error message?

As a general rule, you can safely wrap anything that's inside parentheses.

for (
  var1,
  var2,
  var3
) in zip(
  Variable1,
  Variable2,
  Variable3
):
  pass

That may be a tad excessive, but you get the idea :)
