I think 79 columns is fine. It's an accepted standard, used as the default 
value for example by the GNU Ada compiler in style-enforcing mode:

$ gnatmake -h
[...]
  -gnatyxxx Enable selected style checks xxx = list of parameters:
        1-9  check indentation
        b    check no blanks at end of lines
        c    check comment format
        e    check end labels present
        f    check no form feeds/vertical tabs in source
        h    check no horizontal tabs in source
        i    check if-then layout
        k    check casing rules for keywords, identifiers
        m    check line length <= 79 characters
        Mnnn check line length <= nnn characters
        r    check RM column layout
        s    check separate subprogram specs present
        t    check token separation rules
