Nagios & NRPE only supports one line of text.

To do this in Nagios you'll pretty much have to concatenate all
of the errors into one line, such as "X,Y,Z failed".
Alternatively, have the plugin store the list of jobs that
failed somewhere and have it just alarm you to tell you to visit
that location.
