So the one example under discussion is:
foo = long_function_name(
   var_one, var_two,
   var_three, var_four)

and comes from http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#indentation

Specifically the third example with a heading of "Optional".

 From my reading of the text, plus all the other examples around it, I 
would have assumed the 2 space indent was simply a typo and should have 
indeed been 4 spaces. If this is really meant to show that indents other 
than 4 spaces are allowed in this situation maybe verbiage to that 
effect could be added.
