That pretty much looks like a post processing problem in your script.
GPG's armor format does not output more than 64 characters per line.  IT
is possible that old versions uses up to 72 characters but definitely
never more than 76 as per specs.

BTW, you should also use "--batch" when invoking gpg from a script and
take care to properly quote argumens, so that filenames with spaces
work.

Why did you switch to a 6 year old version of GnuPG with 4 known CVE
indetified bugs?

Please explain.  There is no incompatibility between 1.4.5 and later
versions.
