No, this one would be:

$foo = array(
     $bar,
     $baz . $buz
);

But even if we had looooong strings it would be:

$foo = array(
     $bar,
     'The really long text in a string that is longer than the usual ' .
         'margin set in editors and IDEs.'
);

(which looks different from your first example)

Still, it's too trivial to discuss. Both are easy to read, and there are 
issues that really need time and effort.

If you really need to change this, the position of all operators in 
expressions that span multiple lines have to be changed. In most IDEs 
you can only set the behaviour for all operators and not per operator.
