Shot in the dark here, but perhaps you could set your tab widths
relative to viewport size (e.g. 20%), and use the server to "chop" your
menu items into two lists when you have more than would fill 100%. Your
CSS would have something like
.moretabs{ margin: -50px}
(if your tab height was set rigidly for 50px), or perhaps you could
server-script your CSS with PHP or similar to set your margins according
to the number of rows.
I think it can be done, but is it worth the effort?
