quoted string in a recipe variable?

Hello, Yocto.
I am a bit confused with recipe syntax for variable assignment.

I wanto embed double-quoted string within a variable.
And I tried below and looks like the whole part of the string (A to B) is successfully assigned to EXTRA_OECMAKE variable.

EXTRA_OECMAKE = " \ <-- A
  "-D CMAKE_XXXX=xxxx \
  ...
  ...
  -D CMAKE_YYYY=yyyy" \
" <-- B

My question is, if this is a valid way of doing it?
Why bitbake parser is not confused?

I am sorry please ignore below.

I should put space after -D options so that cmake won't complain.
