The size of the *Completions* window is the same as the size of the *Help*
window displayed by `list-faces-display' with normal Emacs settings.

With `emacs -Q', both `M-x list-faces-display RET' and `M-x describe-face RET 
TAB'
display a window that occupies half of the frame.

And actually one face name per line in the output of `list-faces-display'
is more readable than two columns where names grow from left to right and
then from top to down.  In two column lists it's much easier to read at first
one column sorted top-down and then when the list continues on the second 
column.
