Answer 1

Just set setNumberOfLines: 0 of UILabel. See the example below.

UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 320.0, 44.0)];
[label setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[label setNumberOfLines:0];
[label setTextColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
[label setTextAlignment:NSTextAlignmentCenter];
[label setText:@"1234567890 1234567890 1234567890 1234567890 1234567890 123456"];
self.navigationItem.titleView = label;

Set Left and Right UIBarButtonItems - you can add them.

UIBarButtonItem *leftBarButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithTitle:@"Left" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:@selector(leftPress:)];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = leftBarButton;

UIBarButtonItem *rightBarButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithTitle:@"Right" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:@selector(rightPress:)];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = rightBarButton;

Also decrease the FontSize of Label. It is 12 in this case. And it will look like this:

For the extended question:

Just make some changes in previous code -

[label setNumberOfLines:2]; //Set it 2 instead of 0

NSString *titleStr = @"3456456676456464554541223434484384233456744444444456785643367";

//Check your string length then set font according to it.
//I have set font size according to your requirement
//which is 0-60.

if([titleStr length]>40 && [titleStr length]<=52){
    [label setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial" size:13.0]];
}
else if([titleStr length]>52){
    [label setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial" size:11.5]];
}

[label setText:titleStr];

Note: You can't use adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth: property of UILabel, because it doesn't work for setNumberOfLines:0 in your case you will have to handle it with if condition.

This is method for set fontSize Of UILabel according to its width.

[label setNumberOfLines:1];
label.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = YES;
label.minimumFontSize = 1.0;
