Like this:

Item Five - Item Six - Item Seven
Item One - Item Two - Item Three - Item Four (***)

*** browser window ends here and the remaining items wrap to the line above.

If the browser was wide enough, we should see all the items on one row. 
I'd like to avoid wrapping whenever possible, and also avoid side scrolling.

You mean printing separate rows of tabs? I know I can do that but will 
have to do it more often than necessary because they must fit a minimum 
width - I can't know what with the browser is, can I?

Oh, I know that. But with CSS styling (and relative positioning) you 
aren't so bound by that anymore.  I just haven't seen a solution to the 
problem I'm having...
