For top it can wrap around by something like "top -C -d1".

But I am still not sure what to do in the general case where it goes beyond edge of the screen?
I don't think it goes "beyond the screen", the application (top) is probably aware of the terminal size (ncurses) and is printing only as many characters as can fit on a line, to avoid wrap around.
AFAIK, all you can do in this case is increase the terminal size.
On FBSD you can use vidcontrol(1) for this purpose.
