Or simply put parentheses around the tuple on the left,
and use the ending parenthesis to get to the last line:

    (top, ip1, ip2, ip3, ip4, messageCounter, ackRequired, dataType,
utc1,
    utc2, utc3, utc4, utc5, utc6, utc7, utc8, utc9, utc10, utc11,
utc12, st1,
   st2, st3, st4, st5, st6, numberOfLabels, dataWord
  ) = struct.unpack("!H4BH20BHI", strMessage)
