Well, c-continued-statement-offset probably should be 4. This was
left over from days past, and isn't used by cc-mode actually (thus my
comment about dumping them). Shortly after my post I got rid of that
crud and so I'm left with just:
(defconst knf-c-style
'((c-basic-offset . 8)
(c-offsets-alist . ((knr-argdecl-intro . +)
(knr-argdecl . 0)
(block-open . -)
(label . -)
(statement-cont . 4)
(arglist-cont . 4)
(arglist-cont-nonempty 4))))
"BSD KNF")
Notice that the 4 space indent is used for continuation.

Have you tried what I posted previously? Works for me.
