What type of monitor do you have?  You may want to try adjusting some
of: vert pos, vert size, hor pos, hor size.  I fiddled with these to
get the screen sized and centred the way I wanted it for a -rows 35
-columns 64 screen on my NEC Multisynch II.  On my NEC those adjustments
are at the front.  On some monitors they are at the back or even
inside.

I tried a bigger -columns (about 80) and got an interesting effect.
They fit on the screen OK and the mouse pointer looked normal in
the extra space, but the WB screen was invisible beyond the 64th
extra column.  I hit a hard coded S/W limit in the O/S right?
