Hey humans who know this sort of thing.

Is there a way to know whether your line of text in a script is going to need a new line to be displayed correctly within the text box?

At the moment it's a lot of trial and error, loading and reloading. But it's just very inefficient.
Is there a tool that displays text box text on screen etc. so I know where to put the \ns?

Cheers.

You could use XSE's built in textbox feature (CTRL + T) which will bring up a window where you can write your message without using (\n, \l, \p), and when you finish the text, click on convert and then insert. The text will then be inserted on a highlighted area.

There isn't exactly a set way, but I recommend checking out this video, this guy is pretty experienced and he talks about
his method for deciding when to line break.
