Firstly, I thought everything had been worked out so that the content
wouldn't exceed two lines.

Secondly, if there's more than two lines of data in the
block-container then, for print output, the overflow is either going
to be clipped or it's going to be rendered outside the block-container
(i.e., on top of the data in the next row), depending on the value of
the 'overflow' property.  (It could also cause an error if
overflow='error-on-overflow'.)

You're not, but it's a judgement call whether expanding, clipping, or
overflowing is to be preferred if the data exceeds two lines.
