It's been a while, but I think you just have to type \n in the label to get a line break.

the second question would be about editing a toolbar once it's been made. would that be possible? or, would it have to be rebuilt from the ground up? didn't see an import option.

You can have it create the toolbar dynamically from a list when the script starts. Something like:

local toolbar_buttons = {
  { label: "thing", command: 12345 },
  { label: "stuff", command: 67890 },
}

local button_width = 48

for k, v in ipairs(toolbar_buttons) do
  GUI.New("btn_"..k, "Button", (k - 1) * button_width, 0, button_width, 24, caption = v.label, func = function() reaper.Main_OnCommand(v.command, 0) end)
end

(This example might be a bit rough... I don't have Reaper on this machine and I haven't used v2 of the library in a while)

The list could also be a separate text file if that's easier, you just have to get Lua to read it in. Regardless, editing your toolbar would just be a matter of editing the list.
