Since patch 8.1.0369 you can comment continuation lines. However, you must follow the "\ syntax:

let test_data = [
      "\ description in comment
      \ complicated_data0
      \
      "\ description in comment
      \ complicated_data1
      ...
      \ ]

Prior to that, you would need to split the list up into pieces:

" description in comment
let test_data = [
      \ 1,
      \ ]
" description in comment",
let test_data += [
      \ 2,
      \ ]
