You could circular breathe, but what you can also do is perform it in a way that allows you to take breaths. A lot of these baroque sonatas are reconstructions of string sonatas so they were composed without very much concern to a wind player - but even so there are ways to work around it.
If you had to get up and read a long script (a lot of phrases back to back) you wouldn't just get up there and read straight through! It's the same way with music - you don't just start the 1st sixteenth note and hope to get to the end. Find out where some phrases could use a slight (very slight) hesitation to allow a quick inhale, and where others could even allow for a considerable pause.
