Thanks for your help. I've looked into this a bit more and it seems that, for what I want to do, its enough just to define another layout in the layout-land folder.
Its not perfect, because I'm currently assuming just two possible screen widths (320 and 480) and so setting the maxWidth accordingly for those two scenarios. This might need a little reworking with the new support of multiple screen-sizes in 1.6, but it will do for now...
