FWIW, I have been happily using 90x142 since you mentioned it.  I got to
wondering how big I could go, so I tried 120x160 and got:

ISPI001  Invalid screen size. The width cannot exceed 160 and the depth
cannot exceed 62

I have determined that 102x160 works and 103x160 does not.
115x142 works and 116x142 does not.  

102x160 is 16,320 bytes.
115x142 is 16,330 bytes.

It seems that ISPF allows 16K (16384 bytes) for the screen buffer.
