The info node pointed out by David says it does:
,----[ (info "(elisp)Multiple Displays") ]
| A single X server can handle more than one screen. A display name
| `HOST:SERVER.SCREEN' has three parts; the last part specifies the
| screen number for a given server. When you use two screens belonging
| to one server, Emacs knows by the similarity in their names that they
| share a single keyboard, and it treats them as a single terminal.
`----
So one rather needs screen-dependent or display-dependent values for
screen width and height. (Obviously.) A pragmatic way for specifying
this would be an alist with (DISPLAY . LENGTH) elements as suggested
by Kim (assuming display is equivalent to screen).
