I believe that in most cases that matter, it'll be displayed the way you want. For example, on search.cpan.org, in the format used there you essentially see

Freep

  sed quia non numquam qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consecte
+tur,
  dipisci velit, sed quia non numquam qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit

  consectetur, dipisci velit, sed quia non numquam 

Neque

Porro

Quisquam Est

  Qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, dipisci velit, 
  sed quia non numquam eius modi tempora incidunt ut labore et dolore
  magnam aliquam quaerat voluptatem.

which in context is then (mostly) easily read as three equivalent items. Since pod doesn't give you a way to specify, it's really the best you can do (and I believe this is what's done most of the time).
