LaTeX will break inline equations (and sometimes even on unwanted places)
but not displayed ones. Long displayed equations need to be broken by hand.
LyX offers a very simple way to do so: 

Open Mathed as display (M-a d) and press Ctrl-Enter. You will get two lines
of 3 boxes (an equation array) that you can fill with your equation in a way
it alignes nicely. (BTW: you can always change a displayed eq to eqarray by
pressing Ctrl-Enter, but you will have to cut and paste to fill the boxes
right.)
