There is no way for it to know what you did last time - while the body of
your function is stored as-is the various parts of the CREATE FUNCTION
statement are parsed and stored into the database catalogs. pgAdmin then
queries those catalogs and recreates - in a canonical form - the command.
It would be possible for pgAdmin to toggle between "all on one line" and
"one line per parameter" but I am unsure if that is something it can
currently do.
While you provide no context I would recommend that you consider avoiding
OUT parameters and instead move them into the "RETURNS" clause. Furthermore
I would probably define a "CREATE TYPE" and use that in the function
declaration. If you have more than maybe 5-10 IN parameters I'd probably
convert those into a TYPE as well. If you are working with table data each
table implicitly is has a type defined for it that you can reference as
well.
