Thank you for the advice!
I think I found it:
https://github.com/nsceaux/nenuvar/blob/fa405cd074a4bc4210e33d6d2c13e7fa4ed2cdc8/common/columns.ily

The default is two columns, but the width of each column is too narrow 
for my use case.
How can I override it? I know how to reduce the column-padding, which 
is a property of page-columns-helper.
But I have some problem with modifying column-width, as defined here:
