To get varying prefixes, you can use the `wrap-prefix' text property.

To do so automatically and dynamically would be interesting, but is
obviously more work.  I wonder what ways of specifying the prefix would
be practical (e.g., a text-property covering the "header" text at the
beginning of the physical line, which would be replaced by spaces to get
the wrap prefix, or a regexp used to match the header)?
