You might try splitting that big line by using \:

for i in $(whois -h whois.radb.net -- '-i origin AS15169' \
 | grep "route:" | cut -d ":" -f2 | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' \
 | sort -n -t . -k 1,1 -k 2,2 -k 3,3 -k 4,4 \
 | cut -d ":" -f2 | sed 's/$//') ;

That makes things much easier to read and all of that parses into a single 
line.
