Hoi,
This is the answer I received..

It would be quite possible to index the offsets of each article and
render a view that presents the article based on the width of the
column, screen, etc.  This would only really be helpful if pixel-based
imagery is necessary, otherwise a text or vector based solution may
require less bandwidth.

Thanks,
      GerardM
