Oh yuck. I don't know of a good way around that. Either you accept truncated lines, or you turn on word wrapping and risk a misaligned diff. If you're lucky the diff will still align correctly and the word wrapping will solve your problem. Try converting again after doing a ":let g:html_pre_wrap=1". Normally it defaults to the same value as your 'wrap' option, which is off for good reason during a diff, but this will force it on.
