Line break handling in PowerShell

[simoniscasesensitive]

Environment

Windows 10, PS 6, Windows Terminal.

Win32NT 10.0.18362.0 Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.18362.0
PSVersion 5.1.18362.145
BuildVersion 10.0.18362.145
Windows Terminal version 0.6.2951.0

In addition to trying the ootb PowerShell experience, I've added in a profile matching my SharePoint Online Management Shell shortcut (other than the GUID which I just modified from the standard PS one). Behaviour below replicated in both windows/environments.

{ "guid": "{61c54bbd-c2c6-5271-96e7-009a87ff44bc}", "name": "SPO PowerShell", "commandline": "powershell.exe -NoExit -Command \"Import-Module Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell -DisableNameChecking;\" ", "hidden": false },

Steps to reproduce

Fairly simple really, I have a variable assignment in PowerShell that breaks over multiple lines for readability, but PS in Terminal interprets as multiple commands.
I completely accept there may be a simple modification to the way I've been doing it that'll make it work in PS as delivered by Windows terminal. Problem may be sitting between chair and keyboard.

I've tried:
$MyDocs = [environment]::getfolderpath("mydocuments")

`
$Dlls = ("$MyDocs\ISAPI16\05Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll",
"$MyDocs\ISAPI16\02Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Publishing.dll",
"$MyDocs\ISAPI16\04Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Taxonomy.dll",
"$MyDocs\ISAPI16\31Microsoft.SharePoint.Security.dll",
"$MyDocs\ISAPI16\09Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.UserProfiles.dll")'

and with single backticks after each line (edit: as Quotes are designated by backticks, they've been stripped from this code entry, but they were there, and produce the same result
$MyDocs = [environment]::getfolderpath("mydocuments")

$Dlls = ("$MyDocs\ISAPI16\05Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll",
"$MyDocs\ISAPI16\02Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Publishing.dll", "$MyDocs\ISAPI16\04Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Taxonomy.dll",
"$MyDocs\ISAPI16\31Microsoft.SharePoint.Security.dll",`
"$MyDocs\ISAPI16\09Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.UserProfiles.dll")'

Expected behavior

In my regular PowerShell console and in SharePoint Online Management Console it assigns a variable with a collection of paths, which can be iterated through with foreach.

Actual behavior

Interpreted as a series of incomplete commands, 1 per line.

Can of course be mitigated by replacing all commands broken over multiple lines with the same commands on a single line, so not P0, but fairly annoying, as I have quite a few, including a giant if() statement
