I've grepped the code and can now see that a list of modifiers broken by newlines which cannot be explained by line-width concerns is indeed an irregularity. Not only in java.base but also in other modules. Although there aren't many of such cases, I would prefer them to be addressed in a separate cleanup, which you are welcome to pursue.
