With the "newline after prompt" scheme, you only get one extra line per query.
Which, if the query is long (e.g. longer than 20+ lines) it's not gonna make any difference anyway -- it's not like it matters if you can fit e.g. 24 or 23 lines of a 30 line query (besides, the result rows are gonna take much more vertical space, further making the measly 1 extra line issue moot).
As for for multiple small queries (and one extra line after each of those prompts), you can always scroll. And, again, the results are gonna take far more vertical space than the single extra line per prompt.
And, of course, with the full horizontal space available (and not half wasted by dots) you get to fit more characters in each line, and thus your queries will probably end up using FEWER lines.
So, not only the extra line from the "newline after prompt" is no big deal vertical-space wise, but the dot scheme wastes MORE vertical space AND renders queries unpastable.
