I defer to the OpenBSD style guide:
$ man 9 style
[SNIP]
              for (;;) {
                      z = a + really + long + statement + that + needs +
                          two + lines + gets + indented + four + spaces +
                          on + the + second + and + subsequent + lines;
              }
[SNIP]

Tabs are set to 8; indentation is 1 tab.  Then the 4-spaces rule cleanly
sets second-level indentation apart from the rest of the code.  "Oh,
hey!  That code doesn't appear to be fully indented, so that must mean
it is a continuation of the previous statement."
