Yes, I think these options are exactly what you want.

I think the current defaults are more appropriate; after all, they
really allow “garbage” to be collected.

I think what you’d want is to set COLUMNS within derivation, not “for
the daemon”.
So I don’t know, I’m sympathetic to the idea of developer settings in
Guix System, but I’m not sure what it could bring beyond these two
options.
In the meantime, I propose to close this bug and to discuss this
potential new feature separately.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
