80, 132 and 160 are standard screen widths, and work. I don't know
what happens if you use an arbitrary width.

There's a standard LOGMODE for dynamic geometry (D4C32XX3?). What can
be fun is the other direction; getting the VTAM, TPX, etc.,
administrators to define a LOGMODE to force[1] the terminal to a
specific geometry, e.g., 43x80 primary and 27x132 secondary.
[1] I wanted that for 3180 and successors.
