I don't think there's nothing to be done in ModemManager; if the text
passed in the "text" variable given in --messaging-create-sms contains
a newline character (e.g. \n) then the SMS will be multiline. You just
need to make sure you correctly add the EOL character to the shell
variable.

$ read -r -d '' SMSTEXT << EOM
This is line 1.
This is line 2.
Line 3.
EOM

$ echo "$SMSTEXT"
This is line 1.
This is line 2.
Line 3.

$ sudo mmcli -m 0 --messaging-create-sms="text='$SMSTEXT',number='123456'"
Successfully created new SMS:
/org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/SMS/6 (unknown)

$ sudo mmcli -s 6
SMS '/org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/SMS/6'
