The problem is with how readline processes input [1], as you can:

    echo <some long string>

and it will use the full 80 columns, it is only if you are pasting that the
problem crops up. A workaround is to use 2 terminals, one for readline and one
for less (man). For the readline terminal, you need one that has "xenl".
"screen.Eterm" (case sensitive) is pretty close to the default "cygwin", or can
make your own per my previous post [2]. For the less terminal, you can just use
the default "cygwin" terminal or a custom terminal. To implement, add this to
"~/.profile" or similar:

    TERM=screen.Eterm
    export PAGER='env TERM=cygwin less'
