I managed to resize the putty window by running the command:
resize -s height width

so:
resize -s 24 80

Also adding this:
termcapinfo xterm WS=\E[8;%d;%dt

to:
/etc/screenrc

Allows screen to resize the putty session (with the :width and :height 
commands).

But when quitting/restarting screen it puts the putty and the screen 
session back to the original size.
