That is the piece of info that I needed.  

Doing the following gave we a very wide preview output:

\usepackage{vmargin}
\setpapersize[landscape]{USletter}
\setmarginsrb%
        {.5in}% %leftmargin
        {0.50in}%       %topmargin
        {.5in}%         %rightmargin
        {0.5in}%        %bottommargin
        {0.1in}%       %headheight
        {0.1in}%       %headsep
        {12pt}%         %footheight
        {0.1in}%        %footskip

I haven't tried the developer version of GNU Emacs yet, but I understand
the need for scrolling of images.

Thank you for the help.
