Jay mentioned how to repeatably wrap the results in latex markup; I'd
look into the \resizebox in the graphicsx package to make sure the block
of filenames fits the page. Something like:

#+LATEX: \resizebox{\textwidth}{!}{%
#+RESULTS: foo
#+BEGIN_SRC org
etc...
#+END_SRC
#+LATEX: }

Untested, but something like that ought to work...
