World size is derived from the display plugin and then scaled, if necessary. 
If you need a larger world, then you will have to intercept calls to primitive 
(92?) that gets width/height/depth and then scale it up. You will also need to 
program keys to pan World within the display screen. The changes are non-
trivial.

See DisplayScreen class side methods, if you are still curious.
