They should already be able to choose larger fonts. For instance,
the console-terminus package contains console fonts with a size
up to 16x32. Given a screen resolution of 1024x768, a 16x32 font
would result in a console with 64 chars per line and 24 lines on the
screen.
Put something like the following in /etc/default/console-setup:
# Valid font faces are: VGA (sizes 8, 14 and 16), Terminus (sizes
# 12x6, 14, 16, 20x10, 24x12, 28x14 and 32x16), TerminusBold (sizes
# 14, 16, 20x10, 24x12, 28x14 and 32x16), TerminusBoldVGA (sizes 14
# and 16) and Fixed (sizes 13, 14, 15, 16 and 18). Only when
# CODESET=Ethiopian: Goha (sizes 12, 14 and 16) and
# GohaClassic (sizes 12, 14 and 16).
FONTFACE="Terminus"
FONTSIZE="32x16"
