I just grab the window and stretch it to cover more of the screen.  If
that isn't enough, try x-set-font and use a smaller font that can fit
more characters in the same acreage - sailr6 is good for that, if not
for readability.

You'll still be constrained by MScreenWidth and MScreenLength in
src/config.h.  The default is 300 for each.  If you need to look at
something bigger than that, you'll have to recompile Emacs.

(BTW, this is a good way to give gomoku a closer approximation to an
infinite playing field.)
