That's two stanzas - the first an unconditional deny with a message and
the second a conditional deny with with no message. You're looking for:

deny    condition  = ${if > {$max_received_linelength}{998}}
         message    = maximum allowed line length is 998 octets, \
                      got $max_received_linelength
