The cmd.exe terminal window can be resized.

With the cmd.exe window visible click on the icon in the top 
left corner and bring up the Properties window.

Select the Layout panel and change the terminal size to what 
ever width/height combination required and save the changes 
against the title of the console window.

On a new machine this is usually on of the first things I do, 
since the default properties are pretty poor.
