[BUG] Btop v1.4.0 changed how the CPU cores render from 1 column to 2 column

Bug Report: Change in CPU Core Display in Btop v1.4.0
(This is a BUG in 1.4.0 but after looking at the logs may have been introduced as far back as 1.3.2 - as I recall, I was excited to get 1.4 in the hopes that the bug had been fixed.)

Summary: In Btop v1.4.0, the display of individual CPU cores has changed from a single column to two columns. Previously, when the vertical screen height was large enough, the individual cores (e.g., C0, C31) were displayed in a single column, making it easier to read the details of each core. This also allowed more space for the aggregate CPU graph, which was placed next to the core display, providing a longer view of CPU usage history. However, this behavior seems to have been altered in v1.4.0.

Expected Behavior: Please restore the previous behavior where individual CPU cores are shown in a single column when the vertical screen height allows for it. This would improve readability and ensure better utilization of available screen space, particularly for the aggregate CPU graph next to the core display.

Steps to Reproduce:

Upgrade to Btop v1.4.0.
Run the application and observe the CPU core display.
Notice that the cores are now shown in two columns instead of one in high core count processors.
Additional Information: This change makes it harder to read the individual cores, and reduces the space available for the aggregate CPU usage graph, which was previously shown more clearly.

Thank you for considering this issue for a future release.
