How about this:  insert spaces between URL nodes, something like:

http://example.com/ folder1/ folder2/ page.html ?arg=val &arg=val

Present the URL in a multiple-line textarea, not a single-line input 
field, so the URL naturally wraps around as needed within the 
confines of the column width.

Then delete all the whitespace when you accept form input.

Your task would be to ensure that the textarea was tall enough to 
accommodate the whole URL.

I wonder if users would deal with this comfortably when they 
encountered it for the first time?  I'm pretty sure I would
