Maybe you can do it like this

• Text is being added and rendered inside WebView

• In WebView, you can use Javascript to inspect the current state of DOM tree and extract measurements like width and height of individual elements

• When Javascript detects that the page size threshold is exceeded it sends a signal for a page break needed

Android HTML5 Kindle does page breaking with Javascript so it is definitely possible.
