I don't know if it is already known, but if you want the iTunes Artwork screen saver to show more lines of album covers to match your screen size, edit the following file with the Property List Editor:
$HOME
Library
Preferences
ByHost
com.apple.screensaver.iTunesArtwork.111x2222xy33.plist
Note that the 111x2222xy33 bit will be different on your machine. Change the Rows key as you wish.
[robg adds: You can use the Options button in the screen saver itself to set the rows up to eight. If you edit this file, though, you can use a higher value, and the screen saver will respect that setting. I tested with 16 on my machine, and it worked -- it took a long time to cache the covers, and they were quite small, but it did work. Note that this file is in binary, so if you don't have Property List Editor, you'll have to convert it to edit it with a text editor. plutil -convert xml1 com.apple.screen.... After editing, convert it back with plutil -convert binary1 com.apple.screen....]
