In terms of the css/html it is a reasonably small amount of work to have
two display modes (the css/html structure is quite good and would make
this fairly easy). It would be a matter of setting a max width on the
title and getting the extra fields to flow after that (there's a little
more to it than that, but you get the idea).

There would be more work to swap modes but I don't know what's involved
in that.

I've attached a mockup of what it might look like if the fields are
sitting horizontally. I think this will really only work if you have the
right combination of very wide monitor and/or not too many extra fields
otherwise you will have fields wrap on to the second line anyway.
