Lines: 7 I think that there are convienient macros for multi-column formatting in the HPTeX software (essentially a set of neato add-on macros to Plain TeX). You would say something like \begincolumns 3 to get three columns on a page, followed by an \endcolumns. They also have something like a \balance command to fix all the columns done so far for chapter headings or such.
