Is it at all possible to send more than one line of text per packet? Meaning that something like "test\x0atest\x0a" will leave the client in the same packet, as opposed to two separate ones.

Certainly you can do that. In fact when you send data it is not necessarily ending up in one packet anyway. What you send ends up in an "outgoing queue" which MUSHclient then sends out to the network at whatever rate it will accept. The underlying network transport mechanism may break up whatever you send into 512 byte blocks (or whatever the packet size is).
