Doesn't work that way. The only way I get more columns is if I shrink my
font further. I work with tiles per monitor (left/right obv.) and use
two columns per editor. This gets me a total of 4 columns.

On my desktop that is slightly over 100 characters per column, on my
laptop that is slightly below 100 -- mostly because I'm pixel limited on
fontsize on that thing (FullHD sucks).

If it wraps it wraps.
