The only thing I'd really like is more or less cosmetic. I would like
the ability to split rule definition statements over more than one
line. 

I dislike having to scroll in order to read a line in any programming
language and will go out of my way to avoid lines that exceed 80
characters. In SA rules this means I frequently break a logically single
rule into several lesser rules with underscore prefixed names which are
then combined with a meta-rule. I suspect that this structure runs
slower than one giant rule would but its rather easier to read.

Apart from that SA does exactly what I want it to do. My thanks to all
the developers for writing such a good, extendable and customizable
package.

No.  SA does (with amavisd-new) exactly what I want it to do, and does it well.  There's lots of stuff I don't use, like marking spam and keeping scores, but that's because years of personal experience demonstrated near-zero value.   As I have it configured today it works well without having to mark anything ;-)

Jo,

do you have changes / hopes / ideas / suggestions for SA to make it better
or more better or whatever?

Nope.  It works.   I'm looking at 3.3 carefully but nothing stands out.
