We can hack around to display multilines diary entries on a single agenda
line but then this diary entry would not properly sneak into the agenda:

02/11/2011
  Bill B. visits Princeton today
  2pm Cognitive Studies Committee meeting
  2:30-5:30 Liz at Lawrenceville
  4:00pm Dentist appt
  7:30pm Dinner at George's
  8:00-10:00pm concert

I guess many people have such multilines entries.

So I'd say for now no, you cannot reduce your diary entry to just one
line.

Best,
