Lynx will not print long lines intact, despite -width!
$ perl -we 'print "bla "x999'|txt2html|html2text -width 99999|perl -nwle print\ length|head
3995
$ perl -we 'print "bla "x999'|txt2html|lynx -force-html -dump -width 99999 /dev/stdin|perl -nwle print\ length

I think that is fixed in current unstable (2.8.7dev8-1) I cannot
reproduce it.

Not it is not fixed. There is one line here until it hits lynx:

$ perl -we 'print "bla "x999'|txt2html|lynx -force-html -dump -width 9999999 -stdin|perl -nwle print\ length
990
990

You can up the limit past 9999999 but that won't change lynx's
hardwired internal limit.
