Dynamics 365 Form column width restriction woes

I think this is fairly straightforward, or it should be, but I can't find the best way to increase column width to my desired setting.

The section width has a maximum of 283 px, as when I try to put a number higher than this the error dialog that pops up says this.

Then, the individual field width options are simply just 'one column', 'two columns', 'three' etc...So no specific width or percentages of total 4-column section (as I had seen elsewhere reported).

The problem: I have to zoom out very far so that the 4-column section displays properly, instead of a long list of fields in the downwards direction. Yes I'm on a laptop, but I believe it I could make use of the white space on the form then I would not need to zoom out to epically small proportions in order to display this 4-column section properly.

See attached -- I cannot extend the 4-column section beyond what is shown.

Any ideas about improved design here?

Many thanks.

    Hi ETconsultant,

    My suggestion is to create a two-columns tab and divide the section into two columns so that it can be displayed completely.

    1.Select a tab with the same width as the columns.

    2.Add two two-columns sections.

    3.Add the fields you want.
