Yes, you can find that info in 210.23.

I may be missing something but specifically how does 210-23 address a continuous load circuit?

Is Article 210 specifically the code to qualify how to circuit a continuous load?
As example in 2002 424-3(B): "The ampacity of the branch-circuit conductors and the rating or setting of overcurrent protective devices supplying fixed electric space-heating...shall not be less than 125% of the total load"
and 2005 424-3(B): "Fixed electric space-heating equipment shall be considered continuous load"
