The confusion lies in old hardware, which ran QB45 and DOS, and modern hardware with QB64PE.
Past hardware had serious limitations to it. SCREEN 0 could be either 40 or 80 characters wide, and 25, 43, or 50 rows tall -- that's what you're reading on.
What you need to focus on is this line:
QB64 can alter all SCREEN mode widths and heights which may also affect text or _FONT block sizes.
So you can set it to any width and height that you desire.
