Yep, it's in the configuration file how many hosts per page you want to 
show - if you want to show all hosts on a single page, set it to a high 
number like 999.
Since 1.0.0, the template expands to fit the height of the data in the 
page (rather than having a fixed height with a scrollbar as it was in 
1.0.0#PRE.)

NLG does have trouble with more than 200 hosts, I'm working on that for 
the next release.

If you do get it up and running on an LCD display that big it'd be great 
to have a photo! :-)
