Here's my alias: OUTH
And under send I have
say (and a really long line of text)
The goal of this alias is to recite an oath automatically, the problem is that it sends part of the command as one line, and part of it as a second line instead of sending it in one say.

It's enabled and sent to the world, other then that nothing fancy.

It's possible you just have a hard newline in your alias. Try copying everything in the Send box into Notepad and disable word wrap. If you see multiple lines, chances are you have a newline (or your oath is long enough to hit Notepad's line-length hard limit...). Just backspace over it, and when you're sure there aren't any newlines, copy it back in.

If that doesn't work, please export and post your alias so we can look at it.

You still have hard newlines. Try this.

<aliases>
  <alias
   match="OATH1"
   enabled="y"
   sequence="100"
