I would write it as:

    really_long_variable_name =
      verbose_function_name(argument_name_that_just_goes_on_and_on,
                            another_bloody_argument);

or in extremis, with *really* long names:

    really_long_variable_name =
      verbose_function_name(
        argument_name_that_just_goes_on_and_on,
        another_bloody_argument);

But then, these days I tend to use Lisp indentation when writing C.  ;-}
