top: lift the field management 6 col width restriction

Browse Source 
When two somewhat cryptic error messages were recently
changed to more user friendly text, the logic limiting
maximum columns was left unchanged at six. This always
was a rather arbitrary limit but now the revised error
message could actually be misleading (ok, a huge lie).

With a 1 line code change (macro actually), this patch
lifts the internal restriction on maximum columns. Now
the real limit is based on a window's physical x-axis.

(everything is perfectly justified plus right margins)
(are completely filled, but of course it must be luck)
