Yes, the wrap mode is a paragraph-wide attribute. To prevent line
breaks you may be able to use a nonbreaking space character, I think
Unicode has that, it's even likely Pango honors it.

That's not going to work, no. In nowrap mode, no width is supplied to
Pango and no wrapping ever happens. You can maybe put in an explicit
line break though; there's a Unicode character called "LINE SEPARATOR"
that may work.
