Please, don't top-post.

I think that you are mixing up two different things:

1. Line continuation in SQL statements
2. Breaking up C string constants into multiple lines.

The first one should work at least in 10g, see http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14407/pc_02prc.htm#sthref139

Example:
EXEC SQL INSERT INTO t VALUES('example of a \ split string');

The second seems to make Pro*C choke.

Example:
printf("This won't\
work\n");

Can you see the difference?

Have you tried:
printf("This might "
"work\n");
