You could use textwrap.wrap to break text into a list of strings, each at most width characters long:
import textwrap
lines = textwrap.wrap(text, width=40)
y_text = h
for line in lines:
width, height = font.getsize(line)
draw.text(((w - width) / 2, y_text), line, font=font, fill=FOREGROUND)
y_text += height
