Is this really a scenario you cater for? If you have the text size so 
large that the end of the word "navigation" is greater than 2000px in 
size, I think the end of this text extending past column 0 onto the 
screen is the least of your worries...no?

In other words, think where the normally visible content of the page 
would be - Poland? Certainly not on the screen any more.

I don't think either addition is necessary, but if it makes you feel 
happier, it can't hurt either.

Cheers!
