https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Mitglieder_des_Kommunallandtages_Kassel is an example with a very long list of sub-references that doesn't break. The reason is that he code currently blocks any break in the entire main ref (including all the sub-refs). Instead breaks should only be blocked inside of individual ref's content.

[mediawiki/extensions/Cite@master] Allow column breaks in long list sof sub-refs

I think this change (maybe any change here?) could result in adverse behavior with many links in .mw-cite-backlink while in columns, which could now potentially flow across columns?

I don't think long, thin lists of subreferences broken across colums would be a good solution: they'd still be long and thin, but the ones overflowing into the column on the right now with no "anchor". T418679 with some fine control, {{reflist}}-style, seems like a much better option.
